Named the ‘Men’s Footballer of the Year’ by the All India Football Federation last month, the 28-year-old Jhingan is already in Croatia. “I think that I am at a stage in my career where I want to test myself at the highest level. I think that this is a perfect platform for me. It has been my desire to play in Europe and I have taken up the challenge upon myself,” said an excited Jhingan in a media release issued on Wednesday.

“A big thank you to head coach Mario Rosas, the owners and the management for giving me the opportunity. I cannot wait to get going,” added Jhingan. Welcoming the centre-back to the club, manager Rosas said: “We are very happy that Sandesh is with us. We know that he will help us achieve the goals, which we have set for the season.”
