In Kozhikode, Gokulam Kerala FC has signed Spanish defender Luis Matias Hernandez. He joins the team from Malaysian club DPMM FC. The 27-year-old Hernandez started his professional career in Spain, playing for clubs like Rayo Cantabria, Gimnastic de Torralavega, SD Formentera, and Salamanca CF UDS.
Hernandez is expected to provide the stability and defensive strength needed in the backline. The team hopes that his arrival will address the defensive issues they faced in the last I-League season.
“I am really happy to join Gokulam Kerala FC and be a part of the exciting football culture in Kerala. I am ready to give my best to achieve the team’s goals.”
