Jamshedpur FC will look to make the cut for the play-offs this Indian Super League (ISL) season with significant improvements in the attack along with the firm presence of captain Peter Hartley at the back.
Greg Stewart, the former Rangers attacking midfielder, has joined the ISL side ahead of this season and will bolster the attack alongside Nerijus Valskis, the 2019-20 Golden boot winner.
Though Stephen Eze has been released, the defense will have the experience of veteran Hartley alongside Anas Adathodika to ensure that the team maintains a similar defensive record as last season, which was a club-record of nine clean sheets.
