FC Goa head coach Manolo Marquez was full of praise for the 32-year-old when speaking to the club’s official website.
“Rowllin has been a crucial part of our midfield since his arrival. He is an outstanding midfielder with excellent technical skills. His ability to advance from the second line and score, thanks to his superb shooting, is remarkable. His experience is a valuable asset to the team. Retaining Rowllin is crucial for FC Goa as his leadership and skill set will play a key role in driving the team’s performance,” he said.
Now, it’ll be interesting to see how the club replaces one of their key players in Noah Sadaoui, who recently completed a switch to Kerala Blasters on a two-year deal.
