Indian Super League outfit FC Goa has roped in the services of full-back Sanatomba Singh for the upcoming season. The 18-year-old youngster is a product of the Reliance Foundation Young Champs (RFYC) academy. Sanatomba has committed to a multi-year contract with the Gaurs, the club announced.
Singh impressed one and all with his skills while playing for Reliance Foundation Young Champs and he will look to deliver his best for FC Goa. The youngster expressed his happiness after signing a deal with the club.
“I am delighted to sign with FC Goa. Honestly, I did not expect an opportunity of this level – joining the First Team of one of the great clubs in India, with such a supportive environment. As a young player, I understand the challenges ahead in matching the levels of my more experienced teammates. However, this is the essence of football, and I am committed to my development, seeking guidance from both coaches and players.
“I believe FC Goa is the perfect place for my growth. This team is renowned for nurturing young talent and helping them achieve their potential.
“In my position as a left-back, I have two seniors, Aakash Sangwan and Jay Gupta, to look up to and learn from. Additionally, I am eager to work with the coaching staff, especially Coach Manolo, who has a reputation for significantly impacting young players. I aspire to be one of those players,” he added.
During his stint with RFYC, Singh played 42 matches, clocked 2824 minutes, registered four assists, and contributed to an impressive 18 clean sheets.
FC Goa’s head coach, Manolo Marquez, shared his thoughts on the new signing: “Sanatomba is a left-back with excellent qualities. He is technically sound, a solid defender, and shows remarkable bravery and aggression on the field, making it difficult for opponents.
“He is also physically strong, and has a promising future ahead despite his young age,” the Spaniard noted.
“FC Goa provides a great platform for young footballers to hone their craft at the highest level. We are proud of Sanatomba Singh for making this step in his young career. We look forward to seeing him perform and shine on the biggest stage,” an RFYC spokesperson commented on the move.
