Odisha FC has strategically strengthened their youth ranks by signing two promising youngsters, Subham Bhattacharya and Narendra Naik, from the renowned RF Young Champs. The club has shown a consistent commitment to nurturing young talent, and these signings further solidify their position as a breeding ground for Indian football.
Subham Bhattacharya, a towering center-back, is known for his exceptional ball-playing abilities. His composure on the ball and ability to initiate attacks from the backline makes him a versatile asset to any team. He is set to be a part of the men’s first-team squad under Sergio Lobera.
Narendra Naik, a defensive midfielder, brings a commanding presence to the heart of the park. His ability to shield the backline while contributing to build-up play makes him a crucial cog in any successful team. Naik’s strength in both defensive and offensive phases of the game is a valuable addition to the club’s reserves squad.
