Besides representing the national team, he has played for clubs in countries like Morocco, Egypt, Bahrain, and Iraq.
“I am glad to join Indian champion Gokulam Kerala," said Chikatara. "I am ambitious like the club and would like to make a mark in India. I will help the club conquer new heights.”
Gokulam coach Vincenzo Alberto Annese said Chikatara was technically sound and had good pace.
