ISL: Halicharan Narzary extends his stay with Hyderabad FC

Halicharan Narzary has extended his stay with current Indian Super League (ISL) champions, Hyderabad FC by one year, with the winger penning a contract which will keep him at the club till the end of the 2022/23 season.

Narzary, who joined Hyderabad FC in 2020, is most famously known for scoring the penalty which helped Hyderabad FC lift their maiden ISL title and is one of the most experienced wingers in the country with 84 appearances to his name in the ISL.

“I am super excited to extend my stay with this wonderful club. I am thrilled to be a part of this group again and I cannot wait for the new season to get started," he said on signing a new contract.

Last season, he picked up an injury in the first game of the season and missed a few months of action. But Manolo kept his trust in the winger as Narzary fought back from injury, and helped the team in the final games of the league stage, before scoring the all-important penalty in the ISL final that made Hyderabad the Champions of India.

"Coach Manolo definitely played a big role in extending my stay at the club. I love to play under him and hope to learn under his guidance for years to come. Also, the squad at the club is like a family. We have been together for more than two years now and as a group, we are friendly and helpful. This gives us a special bond that I really want to be a part of," the 28-year-old added.

Narzary's performances at club level has also seen him represent the Indian national team 27 times so far and he will look to add more appearances to his tally in the near future.
