NEW DELHI (India): Jamshedpur FC have signed Alexander Monteiro de Lima for the Indian Super League (ISL) 2020-21 season.
Alexander is the fourth foreign signing made by Red Miners alongside Nerijus Valskis, Aitor Monroy and David Grande.
Alex is a seasoned campaigner and needs no introduction to Asian football as he has already plied his trade for several clubs in Vietnam and South Korea. Alex provides stability to the midfield and also has the ability to create chances on the attacking front.
Added to that, he is extremely comfortable with the ball and can also provide assists through the flanks.
The 31-year-old midfielder’s style of play is perfectly suited for Owen Coyle’s gameplay and he will play a huge role in Jamshedpur’s campaign this season.
Alexander said, “I have played football across four continents. To now join this exciting league, wearing the colours of one of the top teams of India makes me extremely proud. I can’t wait to meet my team-mates.”
Jamshedpur FC coach Owen Coyle said, “Alex is a player of multiple capabilities. A team-player, aggressive, smart, quick, a powerhouse. He is an amazing talent who can unlock the toughest of defences.”
