Kerala Blasters FC is delighted to confirm that it has reached an agreement for the transfer of Bryce Miranda from Churchill Brothers FC for an undisclosed fee. The 22-year-old has penned a multi-year deal that keeps him in the club until 2026.

Miranda started his professional career with Mumbai FC with whom, he represented all age group teams up to U18.
