Rajasthan United FC's Richardson Denzell joins Serbian side FK Jedinstvo UB

The Ghanaian forward also had trial offers from English third-division sides.

In a significant move for an I-League club, 19-year-old Ghanaian forward Richardson Denzell has completed a transfer from Rajasthan United FC to Serbian 1st Division side FK Jedinstvo UB for an undisclosed transfer fee.

Denzell played a crucial role in Rajasthan United’s campaign last season. He had established himself as a dominant goalscorer in the second tier of Indian Football. With an impressive tally of 16 goals in just 21 appearances, the Ghanaian finished 2nd behind Alejandro Sanchez in the I-League Golden Boot race.

Denzell’s contributions were instrumental in ensuring Rajasthan United’s survival in the league as the team were in a critical spot of bother in between the season. His departure marks the end of a short but impactful tenure at the In Rajasthan club.

Rajasthan United FC took to social media to announce the forward’s departure, posting a heartfelt message that read, “Thank you Denzell From arriving as just a normal boy to becoming our club’s highest goal scorer in just one year – what an incredible journey.  As you move on to FK Jedinstvo (UB) on an undisclosed transfer fee, we’re proud of everything you’ve achieved. The sky’s the limit.”

“Watching Denzell’s journey has been nothing short of incredible. He came to us as a young boy with dreams, and in just one year, he’s leaving as our top scorer, ready to take on the world. It’s bittersweet to see him go, but I couldn’t be prouder of the player and person he’s become”, said Mr Kamal the Chief Football Officer of Rajasthan United FC speaking exclusively with Khelnow reflecting upon the player’s journey.
