The Torrelavega born goalkeeper has represented the likes of Albacete, Alcorcon, Alcoyano in Spain and has also been crowned champion of Spanish second division B with Albacete in 2013-14.

"I am looking forward to this new phase in my career. ISL has grown immensely, and we have a lot of Spanish players and coaches here, they have given great reviews about the league. I am very excited to be a part of this club and this league," Dorronsoro said in a statement.

Dorronsoro joins Albino Gomes, Sukhadev Patil and Sayan Roy in the list of goalkeepers in the squad.

"Dorronsoro is an experienced goalkeeper who will add a lot of value to this side. His presence will help our young goalkeepers a lot and he can be a great mentor for them as well," Delhi head coach Josep Gombau said.
