Chennaiyin FC Sign Defender Pritam Kotal On Two-and-a-half-year Deal
South Asian Football Federation Championship: Chennaiyin FC have completed the signing of Indian international defender Pritam Kotal from Kerala Blasters FC on a two-and-a-half-year deal. In his international career, the 31-year-old has already produced more than 50 caps for the national team.
A versatile defender, who can play anywhere in the backline, Kotal joined Chennaiyin after spending the last year-and-a-half with Kerala, which included a spell of 14 games during the first half of the ISL 2024-25 season. The 31-year-old has already trained with the club and is set to make his debut in the coming days.
Kotal, a key defender in Indian football, has consistently excelled since the ISL began in 2014. Originating from West Bengal, his youth career commenced with Chirag United before he made a name for himself in the I-League. Kotal would eventually foray into the ISL and become a crucial player for several teams, adding the league titles in the 2016 and 2019-2020 seasons to his burgeoning trophy cabinet.
