They both were also a part of Rayo Majadahond’s team that promoted into the Spanish Second tier in 2018.

The attacking midfielder has made over 300 appearances and scored 48 goals in lower league games in Spain.

Jamshedpur FC are currently sitting fifth in the Indian Super League table after ten games having scored 13 goals and conceded 13 as well.

They are seven points away from Goa FC who sit atop the league, but the team has only picked 3 points from a possible 15 points in 5 games.

The team has drawn 3, 1-1 draws against Chennaiyin and North East United and a 2-2 draw against Kerala Blasters and lost two games against Mumbai City and Odisha FC which both ended 2-1.

Jamshedpur FC’s next game is on the ninth of January away at Bengaluru FC after which they will host Kerala Blasters ten days later.
