Mumbai City FC can confirm the signing of 24-year-old defender Sahil Panwar on a free transfer. Sahil has signed a one-year contract, keeping him with the club until the end of the 2024-25 season.
Hailing from Dehradun, Sahil began his professional career with the Pune FC academy, earning a spot after impressing in the Subroto Cup. While with the club, Sahil also captained the U-18 side. Later, he joined FC Pune City and debuted in the ISL in January 2018. Sahil went on to play for Hyderabad FC and Odisha FC, where he established himself as a reliable defender.
