The other player whose transfer has been completed is midfielder Lalromawia from second division team Chhinga Veng FC in Mizoram.
“We are going to announce more players, including foreigners in the coming week. There is also a strong contingent of Kerala players as we have promoted several of our reserve players, who have helped us to finish runner-up in the Kerala Premier League, to our squad,” said Gokulam Kerala FC president VC Praveen.
“Durand Cup will be a perfect opportunity for all of the players to hone their skills before I-League. Several of the major clubs in the country are participating in the tournament and everyone covets the historic trophy. It would be an honor to play in the tournament,” he said.
