Mumbai City FC complete signing of Vinit Rai following his loan spell

MUMBAI: Mumbai City FC on Saturday announced the permanent signing of midfielder Vinit Rai following his loan spell. The 25-year-old Rai extends his stay at the Club after putting pen to paper on a one-year contract with the Islanders.

The Assam-born midfielder initially joined the Islanders in January 2022 on loan from Odisha FC and made 14 appearances for the club across all competitions, including in Mumbai City FC’s historic 2022 AFC Champions League campaign.

Mumbai City loaned Vinit for another year, with the midfielder continuing with the Islanders for the 2022-23 season. Vinit played an influential role in the Islanders’ record-breaking ISL Shield win, featuring 11 times and scoring two spectacular goals against Chennaiyin FC and NorthEast United FC.

“I am thrilled to extend my journey with Mumbai City for another year. The learning and experiences I’ve had in my time here have helped me grow a lot. Coach Des, his staff and everyone here has supported me wholeheartedly and I am determined to help the club achieve success just like we did last season,” said Vinit in a media release. IANS
