Coming to play at an Indian club will definitely be a new challenge for the boy from Manchester, and it's understood having his former coach with the ISL 2016 finalists helped him make up his mind to try his hand at this new adventure.
KBFC are trying hard to do one better over their first 3 years in the ISL, when they reached the final twice but lost to ATK. And so far they have done a decend job assembling a strong squad to challenge for the title.
