After leaving the club in 2020, Chaves made a return to the subcontinent in August 2022, when Rajasthan United roped him in. Midway through the season, Churchill Brothers came into the picture and acquired the services of the Uruguayan.
Since then, Martin has had 17 goal contributions for the Red Machines, and his performances have been crucial in Churchill’s journey in the I League.
As Chaves now joins Gokulam, the move certainly is a step in the right direction for the youngster, who now aims at making an impact at one of the biggest clubs in the league, which is surely going to be in contention for the I League title next season.
Chaves’ signing is also an important step for Gokulam in their fight for the I League title, and the promotion to the ISL.

Martin surely adds a lot more quality to Gokulam Kerala’s squad, and it will be interesting to see how the Uruguayan impacts Kerala’s quest for glory.
