“I am excited to start this new chapter with FC Goa. The club’s ambitions and style of play resonate with me, and I am eager to contribute to the team’s success.
“I’ve always admired the footballing culture and the history of the sport in this state, and can’t wait to play in front of FC Goa’s passionate fan base at the Fatorda Stadium. I look forward to giving my best and achieving great things together with the team,” he signed off.
Chennaiyin FC have already agreed a replacement for the left-back, signing Mandar Rao Desai from East Bengal as the replacement for Sangwan. The Haryana-born defender previously featured for Punjab FC, helping them to the ISL after winning the I-League.
