Indian Super League (ISL) club Kerala Blasters have added Mumbai-based defender Umesh Perambra to their squad for the upcoming season, Goal has learnt.
The 23-year-old centre-back could be a useful addition to a squad that is undergoing an overhaul after disappointing finishes on the league table in the last few years.
Umesh, who is the brother of former Mumbai FC player Ritesh Perambra, was a student of Mumbai's Thakur College and made his mark at the inter-college championship organized by the Reliance Football Youth Sports (RFYS) a few years ago.
Umesh was one of the three college students who were picked by the scouts to attend trials for the India U-22 camp in 2017 and the defender was one of the eight players picked by Stephen Constantine for the camp ahead of the AFC U-22 qualifiers that year.
