PANJIM: The 22-year-old left-back was one of four players to make the step up to FC Goa’s first team from developmental squad which won the Goa Football Association (GFA) Professional League in the 2018-’19 season.
Gama made the step up to senior football on the national stage, making six appearances in the Indian Super League and the Super Cup.
“I’m very happy to be staying here at the club. I hope I can improve a lot more in the next two years and beyond. I’ve been in Goa my whole life, and was born here. It’s my home,” exclaimed Gama.
Born in Margao, Gama made his initial strides in the game, earning rave reviews for his performances for Regina Mundi School, Chicalim. Gama also played for FC Bardez in the TACA U-20 League and SESA Football Academy in the GPL before being spotted at a FC Goa trial by then assistant manager and current Head of Youth Development and Technical Director at the club, Derrick Pereira.
