[1]JSW Sports, new entrants into the I-League added more foreign talent to their side, with the announcement of the signing of two English players on Tuesday.
Defenders John Johnson and Curtis Osano have been roped in. While Englishman Johnson has turned out for Middlesbrough in the English Premier League for a season, Kenyan Osano is a product of the Reading academy and has last played for League Two side AFC Wimbledon.
“It’s surely a big change but once the manager told me about the club, the vision and projects they have lined up, it wasn’t hard to say yes,” said twenty-four year-old Johnson who spent last three season at Northampton Town.
Johnson and Osano have played in the centre and right back positions but are comfortable in the midfield.
“I have played with and against John and Curtis and the two will bring a lot of experience to the team. The both have played over a 100 games and that says a lot. John is flexible with positions, is a great athlete and is really strong in the air. As for Curtis, he’s quick and dynamic and very comfortable with the ball. He has a nice mix of strength and discipline. The club has done well in signing the duo considering there were clubs in England interested in them,” said coach Ashley Westwood.
