Jamshedpur FC forward Javier Siverio reckons he has found his best again at the club. Last week, Siverio signed a contract extension with Jamshedpur, that will keep him at the club for one more season. Since joining the Red Miners in February, the Spaniard scored thrice in the eight matches he played.
The striker revealed head coach Khalid Jamil played a key role in signing him.
“From Day 1, coach (Khalid Jamil) has valued me and given me confidence. I think he knows me as a player and that’s why I have found my best football in Jamshedpur FC again,” Siverio told Sportskeeda after signing an extension with Jamshedpur FC.
The Spaniard feels he has performed consistently while playing in India in the last three years, except for Jamshedpur FC but his focus is to deliver the goods for the club as they have shown faith in his abilities.
“I have been in India for three years and have won the ISL Cup, the Super Cup, and was a runner-up in the Durand Cup. I’ve scored 23 goals in all competitions despite limited minutes at all three teams I’ve played for. I believe I’ve performed well at all clubs except Jamshedpur, which has shown interest in me. However, from the moment the season finished, my priority has been to continue with Jamshedpur because they have shown me great respect and confidence, which is most important for a player,” he stated.
The 26-year-old Spaniard initially joined the Men of Steel in January on loan from East Bengal FC. Siverio also won the Kalinga Super Cup with the Kolkata-based club. The striker scored two goals for East Bengal FC in the Super Cup and played a key role in the team’s success.
Recalling his stint with East Bengal FC, Siverio said, “Two medals in six months for the club after a 12-year drought—I don’t think I did too badly. I scored some crucial goals to contribute to those achievements. Despite that, I feel they weren’t entirely pleased with my performance, but I respect their decision. I really miss my teammates; we had an incredible group with amazing players. However, that’s in the past now, and I’m focusing on this year and my future with Jamshedpur FC.”
Jamshedpur FC finished ISL 2023-24 season in 11th place with five wins in 22 games and they will want to come up with an improved performance in the next season.
