FC Goa have signed Nim Dorjee as yet another new signing for the January transfer window, confirming his arrival on their official website. The 28-year-old is expected to replace Sandesh Jhingan, who will be out for a considerable amount of time with a knee injury that he sustained at the AFC Asian Cup 2023.
The former Hyderabad FC defender reunites with coach Manolo Marquez and defence partner Odei Onaindia, which could prove to be a solid pairing in the Gaurs’ ambition to claim the league title this season.

“FC Goa is one of the top teams in India with the right ambitions. It’s wonderful to be here now. I’m also glad to reunite with Coach Manolo and my former teammate Odei, who is one of the best defenders in the league currently.
“Having worked with them in the past, I hope to integrate quickly within the team’s system and continue their momentum in the ISL. Eagerly looking forward to the next game,” Nim Dorjee told the FC Goa website.
After working his way up from Shillong Lajong, the defender made the move to FC Pune City before moving to NorthEast United FC and eventually playing for Hyderabad FC. Now, he will be playing with the top team in the ISL in hopes of finishing first by the time March comes around.
