MUMBAI, Jan 6: Reigning Indian Super League (ISL) champions Mumbai City FC on Thursday confirmed the arrival of midfielder Vinit Rai into their team.

The 24-year old joins the Islanders from Odisha FC on loan until May 31, 2022, a media release said.

A product of the Tata Football Academy, Rai kicked off his professional career through the ranks at Dempo before moving to the ISL with Kerala Blasters in 2016 and followed it with a loan stint at Minerva Punjab FC in the I-League.
