After winning the Kalinga Super Cup and securing a continental spot, FC Goa have made a smart move by signing Shillong Lajong’s promising centre-back Ronney Wilson on a multi-year deal. According to sources, terms are already agreed, and paperwork will be signed soon.
Ronney Wilson Shined Despite Shillong Lajong’s Struggles
Even though Shillong Lajong had a disappointing I-League campaign, Wilson stood out with impressive performances. His move to FC Goa is seen as a great opportunity to grow his career and learn from some of the top players and coaches in Indian football.
Ronney Wilson’s Playing Style
The 22-year-old centre-back from Meghalaya played 15 matches this I-League season, scoring 2 goals and assisting once. Known as a no-nonsense defender, Wilson excels in central defense but is also comfortable pushing forward. His speed and heading ability make him a real threat during set pieces.
How Ronney Wilson Fits in FC Goa’s Defence
FC Goa already have a strong backline with Sandesh Jhingan and Odei Onaindia, supported by wingbacks Ashish Sangwan and Boris Singh. Ronney Wilson is expected to be a solid backup and could feature in tournaments like the Durand Cup and Bandodkar Trophy.
FC Goa’s Focus on Young Talent
Ronney’s signing aligns with FC Goa’s focus on developing young talent, following in the footsteps of rising stars like Hrithik Tiwari. Training at Fatorda and sharing the dressing room with elite players will be a big step forward for Ronney Wilson.
