Jamshedpur FC has made a strategic move to secure the future of one of their brightest young talents, extending the contract of winger Mohammed Sanan until the 2027-28 season. The 20-year-old, who joined the Men of Steel from the Reliance Foundation Young Champs (RFYC) in the 2023-24 season, has quickly made a name for himself with his impressive performances on the pitch.
Sanan, known for his electrifying attacking style, exceptional dribbling abilities, and natural talent for creating scoring opportunities, has already proven his worth in his debut season. He scored two goals and provided an assist in 20 appearances, demonstrating his potential to become a key player for Jamshedpur FC in the years to come.
His contributions extended beyond the ISL, as he also impressed in the Durand Cup Group Stage, netting twice in three matches. His ability to make a significant impact in multiple competitions has solidified his position as a promising talent with a bright future ahead.
“In my opinion, he is one of the best wingers in the league,” stated Khalid Jamil, Jamshedpur FC’s head coach. “With this extension, I expect him to take more responsibility and think about his future, not just as a player but as a leader on the pitch.”
Sanan’s excitement for the future with Jamshedpur FC is evident. “It’s an incredible feeling to continue my journey with Jamshedpur FC,” he shared. “There was absolutely no hesitation in my decision to sign a new deal, as I believe this club is the best in the country. The legacy here, combined with a strong focus on youth development, makes it the perfect place for me to grow as a player. My goal this season is to make a significant impact and help the club lift the ISL title.”
Sanan’s impressive debut season included 11 starts, where he scored crucial goals against Punjab FC and East Bengal FC. His impact on the field is further reflected in the 1,016 minutes of playing time he accumulated at the young age of 19, an impressive feat for any newcomer to the ISL.
The club’s head coach, Khalid Jamil, echoed the sentiments about Sanan’s potential, stating, “We are thrilled to extend Mohammed Sanan’s contract till 2028. He is a good, versatile player who has shown immense potential and can do even better.”
Jamshedpur FC’s commitment to developing young talent and building a strong team for the future is clearly demonstrated by their decision to extend Sanan’s contract. This move reflects their confidence in his ability to contribute significantly to the club’s success in the coming years.
As the new ISL season kicks off, Jamshedpur FC will look to Sanan to play a key role in their quest for the title. The club’s journey begins with an away match against FC Goa on September 17th, followed by their first home game on September 21st at the JRD Sports Complex against Mumbai FC. Fans will be eager to witness the exciting prospect of Mohammed Sanan leading the charge for Jamshedpur FC in the upcoming season.
