The 27-year old has predominantly operated from the right of the Gaurs' attack. Jackichand made his debut in the league for FC Pune City in 2016 and then went on to play for the likes of Mumbai City and Kerala Blasters as well. He has a total of 13 goals and 10 assists in the league. The news of his departure will create a few problems for Goa and the club are reported to have already found his replacement. NorthEast United's Redeem Tlang is a like-for-like replacement for Jackichand. Tlang can operate on either wing.
