Roy Krishna

Krishna will play alongside Indian captain Sunil Chettri in the forward line.

He was linked with a return to A-League side Wellington Phoenix but told FBC Sports he has a lot of hunger to prove himself in the Indian League.

Krishna spent three season with another Indian side, ATK Mohun Bagan, the first Fijian to play in the top division in the country.

He was the joint top goal scorer twice and the winner of the golden ball in the 2020-21 season.

The Wellington Phoenix striker has capped off a career-best season by winning the Johnny Warren Medal, the honour for the competition's best player.

He was the third Phoenix player to take out the prestigious award after Shane Smeltz in 2008-09 and Nathan Burns in 2014-15.

Krishna also took out the league's Golden Boot with 18 goals this season, breaking Jeremy Brockie's club record for most goals in a season in the process.

The 31-year-old Fijian international is off-contract and attracting interest from around the league for a big-money marquee deal.
