Goa, June 4 : Young FC Goa defender Saviour Gama has signed a three-year contract with the Indian Super League (ISL) club, committing himself to the side until 2024.
Gama, 24, became the club s first-choice left-back in the first season itself in 2019, starting in all but one game in the 2020-21 ISL season.
His performances helped FC Goa secure their fourth consecutive semi-final appearance while propelling the club to a 15-game unbeaten run until the end of the 2020-21 season. This feels like home to me. I have felt at home not only because I am in Goa, but also because the club has helped me become the player I am today and given me the respect that every player craves (for), said Gama, who has come through the club s developmental ranks.
