ISL: Spanish forward Javier Siverio pens extension with Jamshedpur FC

Spanish forward Javier Siverio has signed a contract extension with Jamshedpur, that will keep him at the club for one more season. Since joining the Red Miners in February, the Spaniard scored thrice in the eight matches he played.

The 26-year-old Spaniard initially joined the Men of Steel in January on loan from East Bengal FC. Siverio also won the Kalinga Super Cup with the Kolkata-based club. The striker scored two goals for East Bengal FC in the Super Cup and played a key role in the team’s success.

The Spaniard was delighted to extend his contract with Jamshedpur FC and gave his gratitude to head coach Khalid Jamil for trusting him.

Siverio’s excitement about his new chapter with Jamshedpur FC was palpable when he said, “The club and head coach Khalid Jamil have placed their trust in me, giving me the opportunity to prove my worth. I embraced this challenge last season and am thrilled to have rediscovered my best football with the Men of Steel. We should have finished much better on the table for the team that we were, and this season is about correcting that. As soon as the season ended, it was clear the club wanted me to extend my stay. For me staying here was always my first choice. Our goal is always to win while giving our best in every game to make our fans proud. We need to continue making them proud on the pitch, and I believe they will come in even greater numbers. We must be formidable at home, and for that, we need their unwavering support.”

Head coach Khalid Jamil expressed his confidence in Siverio’s abilities, highlighting how well he fits into the team’s style of play. “Siverio is an attacking striker who complements my style of play perfectly. His work rate helps him to play high-pressing football effectively and he is strong in aerial duels. He integrates well with the team and with four years of experience in the ISL is well-acquainted with the playing conditions in India. His versatility in being able to play as a lone striker as well as a second striker is an asset. He is a talented striker who possesses the ability to both create and convert them into goals. This season will be crucial for him to make a significant impact and contribute significantly to the club with consistency,” Jamil remarked.

Jamshedpur FC finished ISL 2023-24 season in 11th place with five wins in 22 games and they will want to come up with an improved performance in the next season.
