Kerala Blasters FC have signed Montenegro defender Milos Drincic on a one-year deal.
The 24-year-old Drincic has close to 230 appearances across the top leagues in Montenegro and Belarus.
The centre-back will wear the No. 15 jersey for the Indian Super League side.
Drincic, who most recently turned out for Shakhter Soligorsk in Belarus, started his professional career in Montenegro with FK Iskra Danilovgrad in 2016.
A string of consistent and dominant performances in the top division earned him a move to Sutjeska Niksic in 2021.
"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'm glad we have Milos with us. I wish him to become an important part of Kerala Blasters going forward," said Karolis Skinkys, Kerala Blasters Sporting Director.
"I see this as a wonderful opportunity to explore a new challenge in a different league with a great Club. There was a good feeling from the first moment I started speaking with Karolis. I am really looking forward to this new chapter of my career, and I hope to make it a memorable one. I assure you I will be giving it my all both on and off the pitch," said Drincic.
