Bhubaneswar-based professional football club, Odisha FC today announced that they have roped in defenders Sahil Panwar and Sebastian Thangmuansang ahead of the upcoming 8th edition of the Indian Super League (ISL).

Coming on board from Hyderabad FC for an undisclosed transfer fee, 21-year-old Sahil has signed a two-year deal with an option to extend for a third year. The move shall officially be completed once the Indian transfer window opens this summer.

After making his professional debut for FC Pune City in the 4th edition of the ISL, the Dehradun-born left-back played for Pune City and Hyderabad FC in 37 matches. He has represented the country in various age-group tournaments and also captained Team India in the 2017 SAFF (South Asian Football Federation) U-18 Championship.

Speaking on the new signings, Odisha FC CEO Rohan Sharma commented, "Despite his young age we see Sahil as a veteran having played in the ISL for the last couple years. We think OFC will be a good place for him to compete to make an impact on defense. We have been tracking Sebastian for the past two years and we are glad he has finally joined the team," he further added.

"We are delighted Sahil and Sebastian have agreed to join Odisha FC. They are two of the most promising defenders in the country and add further depth and quality to the team," mentioned Club President Raj Athwal.

I wish to play for India and hope the club provides me an opportunity to show my potential in the upcoming season of the ISL."
