Kerala Blasters FC have signed 24-year-old Montenegro defender Milos Drincic on a one-year deal for the ISL 2023-24 season.
He joined KBFC from Belarusian club Shakhter Soligorsk on a free transfer. The player has a reported market value of INR 1.8 crore.
Drincic has already amassed close to 230 appearances across the top tiers of Montenegro and Belarus. Primarily a centre-back, Drincic can adapt to a left-back role as well.
The defender started his professional career in Montenegro with FK Iskra Danilovgrad in 2016.
The young and towering Montenegrin, who has consistently competed in tournaments like UEFA Champions League and Europa Qualifiers, was part of Montenegro’s U-17, U-19, and U-23 teams.
On the inclusion of Drincic into the Blasters squad Karolis Skinkys, Kerala Blasters Sporting Director, said, "Milos Drincic is exactly the profile we were looking for - fighter mentality, peak age, playing in the top European league, and great ambition to represent Kerala Blasters. There were no doubts we wanted him. Though it took some time, I am glad we have Milos with us. I wish him to become an important part of Kerala Blasters going forward."
Drincic, who is set to don the number 15 jersey this season, will join the Blasters' Durand Cup camp in Kolkata.
