Martins’ passing, vision and tackling should add more quality to the Gaurs’ midfield

Goa, February, 2021: FC Goa is delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Glan Martins on a short-term deal. The Goan native will be a part of the FC Goa squad till the end of the season.

“I can’t wait to put on the shirt and showcase my abilities. I have long been an admirer of the way the Club plays football and it completely aligns with what I feel are my strengths. This is a chapter in my life that I want to make full use of.”

FC Goa Director of Football Ravi Puskur also welcomed the new Gaur, saying, “We’re delighted to bring Glan to FC Goa until the end of the season. He is a very exciting and talented player whose gameplay completely suits the kind of football we look to play.

He is someone that we have been tracking for some time now. He is very keen to come here and test himself and will be a great addition to the squad.”
