XtraTime Web Desk: Indian Super League franchise Odisha FC has successfully renewed the contract with their promising youngster Shubham Sarangi for the next three seasons.
The 19-year-old versatile player was an integral part of Josep Gombau’s side last season appearing in 17 matches for the new ISL side franchise. He made 97 clearances and 28 interceptios and provided 1 assist playing as a right-back.
Sarangi, who was originally a striker before being used as an attacking midfielder, was converted into a full-back by Spanish coach Gombau in the 2018-19 ISL season. The youngster had appeared in nine matches that season for Delhi Dynamos and booked his place in the Spaniard’s side.
Sarangi was part of the India youth teams before being roped in by Delhi Dynamos in 2017. The club had then sent him to the Aspire Academy in Qatar to further train.
