The 32-year-old was part of the Chennaiyin FC squad in the Indian Super League this season, which lifted the title, although he made just two appearances on the pitch. He will join the Goan side as their fourth foreigner – after Darryl Duffy, Martin Scott and Calvin Mbarga - according to Goal.com.

Salgaocar manager Malky Thomson had earlier stated the need for defensive reinforcement in the squad. The Greens headed into the season with a lot of exceptions, having made some quality signings in the summer. However, plagued by injuries, Salgaocar have lost both their matches so far against Bengaluru FC and defending champions Mohun Bagan.
