Odisha FC has strategically strengthened their youth ranks by signing two promising youngsters, Subham Bhattacharya and Narendra Naik, from the renowned RF Young Champs. The club has shown a consistent commitment to nurturing young talent, and these signings further solidify their position as a breeding ground for Indian football.
Subham Bhattacharya, a towering center-back, is known for his exceptional ball-playing abilities. His composure on the ball and ability to initiate attacks from the backline makes him a versatile asset to any team. He is set to be a part of the men’s first-team squad under Sergio Lobera.
Narendra Naik, a defensive midfielder, brings a commanding presence to the heart of the park. His ability to shield the backline while contributing to build-up play makes him a crucial cog in any successful team. Naik’s strength in both defensive and offensive phases of the game is a valuable addition to the club’s reserves squad.
The duo had showed their dominance during the Reliance Foundation Development League national group stages. The club sees great potential in these players and believes they can become key contributors to the team in the future. This move highlights the club’s commitment to developing young Indian footballers.
Club President, Raj Athwal said: “We are thrilled to welcome Subham and Narendra to the Odisha FC family. Their potential and talent are a wonderful fit with our dedication to youth development. We are grateful to RF Young Champs for its outstanding work in developing these youngsters and for their contribution to Indian football. We believe these young additions will be instrumental in shaping the future of our club.”
An RFYC Spokesperson said: “We are proud of both, Shubham and Narendra, for signing with Odisha FC. Shubham has developed into a strong defender in his time at RFYC, with his ability to distribute the ball and defend it equally well being a massive asset for any team he plays in. Narendra’s versatility allows him to play in defense and in midfield with aplomb. His vision and his ability to read the game will be strong weapons for Odisha in the coming years. We wish both of these talents and Odisha FC all the best for the coming season.”
