Daniel Chima Chukwu has signed a two-year contract extension with Jamshedpur FC ahead of the upcoming Hero ISL season. Chukwu was an integral part of the side that won the League Winner Shield last season. His seven goals and an assist helped Jamshedpur FC win seven matches in a row en route to the title.
“I am delighted and honored to have extended my stay. We were in a bubble last year and it’s incredible to finally play with the vociferous Jamshedpur crowd backing us at the Furnace,” Daniel Chima Chukwu said after signing a contract extension with Jamshedpur FC. “It was a great experience joining Jamshedpur mid-season and now it feels just right to be back at our home. The club has fantastic players and staff, incredible infrastructure, and top ambitions and now It is all about continuing the winning mindset. I am excited to continue my journey and can’t wait to join other players in pre-season.”
“Chima is a quality forward and a thorough professional. He joined the club, fit right in, and turned around his season with exceptional displays in attack. We are delighted to have him stay and I am sure the fans are excited to finally watch him in action at the Furnace,” Jamshedpur FC head coach Aidy Boothroyd said.
Meanwhile, NorthEast United FC has completed the signing of midfielder Emil Benny. He becomes their signing following the arrival of Jithin MS last week.
“We have been keeping an eye on Emil for the last two seasons in the I-League, where he was one of the emerging players of the league,” NorthEast United FC technical director Ohad Efrat said. “He is a phenomenal talent with the potential to become a member of the national squad in the upcoming seasons. We have high hopes for him.”
