PANJIM: FC Goa announced the arrival of highly-rated Goan forward Devendra Murgaonkar. The 21-year-old joins the Gaurs from Salgaocar after the clubs agreed on an undisclosed transfer fee.
The 21-year-old put pen to paper on a 3-year contract with the reigning champions of the ISL League Winners Shield after earning rave reviews for his performances in the Goa Pro League over the last couple of seasons.
Devendra said, “This is something like a dream come true for me. I have been an FC Goa fan since the Club’s inception and now I get to wear the colours and get onto the field, taking on the best in India. So, you can say I am living my dream right now.
“I feel blessed to have this opportunity and I want to take advantage of this with both hands.”
Having burst on the scene in the 2017/18 season, the youngster used the 2018/19 season as his unofficial coming-of-age party, scoring a league-high 20 goals in the Goa Pro League (GPL). He followed that up with 9 goals in the pandemic curtailed 2019/20 season of the GPL.
