Jamshedpur FC defender Peter Hartley has signed a one-year extension with the club ahead of the upcoming Hero ISL season. Hartley was the club captain and helped the club secure its first trophy. The center-back was a rock at the back while scoring three goals as well. His leadership qualities and performances throughout the season soon made him a fan favorite. Hartley expressed his joy after signing a contract extension.
“This season with Jamshedpur was very special to me; not only did we win the League Shield but also scored the highest point by any club in ISL history. The aim for this season will be to retain the League Winners Shield title. Jamshedpur is a very special club with amazing people both on & off the field. I am delighted to call it my home for the future,” Jamshedpur FC captain Peter Hartley said. “I had some fantastic conversations with the gaffer throughout the off-season, and I am very excited to work with Aidy Boothroyd. He is a great coach and has helped several English players to grow and develop their skills. I am excited to work with his guidance and do my best for Jamshedpur and its fantastic supporters.”
“I have seen what a significant role the skipper had played in the earlier seasons. Having the most clean sheets in the past is because of Peter’s defense prowess with the team and a great partnership with Eli Sabia. He brings forth a sea of experiences that helps the team. It’s great to have him again,” Jamshedpur FC head coach Aidy Boothroyd said.
