Gokulam Kerala extend contract of Indian international Aditi Chauhan

The goalkeeper was an integral part of the Malabarians' Indian Women's League title win in 2019.

Gokulam Kerala FC have renewed the contract of the Indian national team goalkeeper Aditi Chauhan.

The goalkeeper from Delhi was an integral part of the Malabarians' Indian Women's League title win in 2019. Though she had agreed on a deal with Iceland’s third division team Hamar Hveragerði, the transfer didn’t materialize due to the Covid_19 pandemic.

She has represented India in different age groups and also played in the UK for West Ham United Ladies while the English club was playing in the third division. Aditi Chauhan was part of the Indian team that won the SAFF Women’s Championship in 2016 and 2019 and won a gold medal at the South Asian Games in 2016.

She is known for her composed nature in front of the goal and also is a ball–playing keeper.
