ISL: Mumbai City FC confirm signing of Noufal P.N

The Islanders have been very active in their preparations for the upcoming season

Indian Super League (ISL) side Mumbai City FC have acquired the services of Noufal P.N, the club announced on Saturday through all their social media handles. The young attacker joins the Islanders on a three-year contract and will remain with the defending ISL champions until the end of the 2027 season.

About Noufal P.N

The young gun hails from God’s own country Kerala. After starting his career with Basco FC, he made a move to his hometown club, Gokulam Kerala FC in 2022 and became an instant success for the Malabarians with his match-winning goal contributions.

The winger has been an outstanding performer for the former I-league champions across the I-League, Kalinga Super Cup, and Durand Cup. 

Noufal’s swiftness on the wings coupled with his attacking instincts and ability to create chances is what makes him a complete package for the Islanders. The 23-year-old winger racked up five goals and 14 assists in 53 appearances for the Malabarians in just a couple of years.
