Goa: FC Goa announced the signing of Spanish forward Airam Cabrera from Wisla Plock on Friday ahead of the eighth edition of the Indian Super League (ISL). Cabrera had agreed on a one-year deal with the club.
The 33-year-old experienced different stints across some of the top leagues in Europe including in Spain and the top leagues of Poland (Ekstraklasa) and Cyprus (Protathlima Cyta). A lethal center-forward like Cabrera would be really beneficial for the side as they set their eyes on the title.
“I want to thank FC Goa for the trust and faith they have put in me. I believe this will be another wonderful chapter in my life,” said the former Cadiz forward after putting pen to paper the deal.

“I am really looking forward to playing in India and experience the amazing state of Goa. I’m delighted to be here. I want to help the team with goals and all the experience I acquired in Europe – to help in growing the team.
“I feel good, I feel motivated. I have done my homework and I feel I fit really well with the philosophy that the Club has about football and believe that I have all the tools necessary to succeed here in India,” he added.
Making his debut through CD Tenerife and working his way upwards, Cabrera has gone on to play for a number of Spanish clubs like Villarreal B, Cordoba, Numancia, Lugo, Cadiz and Extremadura.
He has also played in the Polish top flight, scoring 30 goals and assisting four in 60 appearances in the Ekstraklasa playing for Wisla Plock, Cracovia and Korona Kielce. Cabrera is the second signing of the Gaurs this season after defender Kunal Kundaikar from SC de Goa.
