I am not only going to my hometown club, but it is also one of the biggest clubs in the country and their track record shows it all,” the 32 year-old added on the move.
“Being a Goan, playing formerly in a team with a similar style and having known the players, I believe I can make a real mark on the team,”
Capable of playing both as a defender as and as a defensive midfielder, Adil started his career at the Sporting Clube de Goa before moving to Mohun Bagan to play in the I-league while making 61 appearances in the ISL representing Delhi Dynamos, Pune City and Hyderabad FC and with the experience of 11 international caps of India, FC Goa get a player who can bring solidity alongside versatility to them.
