Jamshedpur FC extend trailblazer Mohammed Sanan's contract till 2027-28
Jamshedpur FC have tied the exciting winger down to a five-year contract.
Jamshedpur FC have extended the contract of young winger Mohammed Sanan until the 2027-28 season. The 20-year-old talent joined the Men of Steel from the Reliance Foundation Young Champs (RFYC) in the 2023-24 season, and his performance and potential have led to the upgradation of his contract for another four years.
Sanan, who operates primarily on the left side of the pitch, is known for his attacking prowess, excellent dribbling, and natural ability to create and score goals. The Kerala lad had a mesmerizing debut season last year, making 20 appearances, netting two goals and an assist for Jamshedpur FC.
He was also impressive in the Durand Cup group stage held here, scoring twice in three matches. His two-footed shooting ability makes him a promising prospect for Jamshedpur FC.
“It’s an incredible feeling to continue my journey with Jamshedpur FC. There was absolutely no hesitation in my decision to sign a new deal, as I believe this club is the best in the country. The legacy here, combined with a strong focus on youth development, makes it the perfect place for me to grow as a player. My goal this season is to make a significant impact and help the club lift the ISL (Indian Super League) title,” Sanan told after penning the contract extension.
Sanan made 11 starts last season, scoring crucial goals against Punjab FC and East Bengal FC. At just 19 years old, he accumulated 1,016 minutes of playing time during his debut season, an impressive tally for any youngster in the ISL.
“We are thrilled to extend Mohammed Sanan’s contract till 2028. He is a good, versatile player who has shown immense potential and can do even better. In my opinion, he is one of the best wingers in the league. With this extension, I expect him to take more responsibility and think about his future, not just as a player but as a leader on the pitch.” said Khalid Jamil, the head coach of Jamshedpur FC.
The contract extension is another testament of Jamshedpur FC to promote talented youngsters in the club. The club will kick off its ISL campaign with an away match against FC Goa on 17th September. The first home game of the season will be on 21st September at the JRD Sports Complex, where Jamshedpur FC will face Mumbai City FC.
