The Aussie also spoke about the role which head coach Owen Coyle played in his move to Jamshedpur. “The Gaffer played a big part in the move.

He is a great finisher and good with hold-up play as well to allow others to score too. Jordan is someone who keeps improving with each game and a great teammate to have. I am sure the Jamshedpur supporters will be smacking their lips to see such a fiery frontline this season.”
