Mumbai, Jan 22: Indian Super League franchise FC Goa on Friday announced the signing of India international defender Adil Khan on loan from Hyderabad FC for the rest of the season.
Possessing the ability to play both in the midfield as well as in the backline, the 32-year-old will add both depth and quality to the team, a media release stated.
“Being from Goa, FC Goa is a club that has always been close to my heart, and finally the circumstances were exactly right for the move to happen. I am not only going to my hometown club, but it is also one of the biggest clubs in the country and their track record shows it all,” Khan was quoted as saying in the release.
“Being a Goan, playing formerly in a team with a similar style and having known the players, I believe I can make a real mark on the team,” he added. His professional career began in 2008 with Sporting Clube de Goa after making a move from SESA Academy.
After spending years with the ‘Flaming Orange’, he moved to Kolkata to feature in the Green and Maroon of Mohun Bagan. (PTI)
