Goalkeeper TP Rehenesh joins Kerala Blasters

26-year-old goalkeeper TP Rehenesh has joined Kerala Blasters from NorthEast United to work with former boss Eelco Schattorie again.

Kerala Blasters on Wednesday announced the signing of the Calicut-born goalkeeper Thumbirumbu Paramba Rehenesh from NorthEast United FC.

Rehenesh was also a part of the U-23 National team in 2015-16 and represented the nation in 2017 as well.

Speaking of his signing, Kerala Blasters head coach Eelco Schattorie said, “We are very happy to have signed Rehenesh TP who has been the no. 1 goalkeeper for North East United FC for many years. As a keeper, he has good athletic abilities and is also great with the ball. His experience will surely bring good stability to the entire team."

Delighted to be roped in by the Kerala outfit, Rehenesh commented, "Being a Malayali, I have always looked forward and eagerly waited for my chance to play for Kerala Blasters. I m very happy and grateful to the club for this opportunity.

"It is heartening to see the support the home fans have for this club. As a player, it is motivating, at the same time a responsibility too. I will put in my 100% for the upcoming season and assure full commitment to the club."
