“We’re delighted to have Imran come to us,” said Jamshedpur FC Head Coach, Scott Cooper.

“He’s a very technical and versatile player in midfield and brings a wand of a left foot and a very good attitude so he will fit in well with the plan we have. He is hard-working and comes with some Hero ISL experience and will flourish with us.”
