“There has been some mutual interest between us for over a year now to work together, and I am very happy that the deal has finally gone through. I believe I have a lot to give and my dreams are to win many more trophies. I hope that starts here,” he added.
Speaking on the signing, Ravi Puskur, FC Goa’s Director of Football said, “Udanta is a player we have admired for a while now. His direct running with the ball, ability to go past players and his blistering pace are all attributes that we lacked in his position last year. His arrival at the club signals an opportunity for us to address that weakness and more importantly, gives us a player with a winning pedigree and serious experience in the league. I’m confident that together, we can revive each other’s fortunes.”
