Speaking about the new signing, Odisha FC CEO Mr Rohan Sharma said, “I’ve had my eyes on Lalruatthara since his breakout at Kerala Blasters FC. I love his defensive versatility and think he can add a lot to our defence. I know he is eager to prove he’s a national team quality defender again and he will have ample opportunities to prove it at OFC.”

“I am extremely happy that Lalruatthara has decided to join Odisha FC. He is one of the most talented defenders in India and I’m pretty sure that he will be a great addition to our side,” said Mr Raj Athwal, Club President, Odisha FC.

Odisha FC had finished the previous season as the wooden spooners as they could only manage two wins from 20 matches and they will be looking to turn the tables in the next season.
