FC Goa sign Spanish forward Corominas

Indian Super League (ISL) outfit FC Goa confirmed the signing of Spanish forward Ferran Corominas on a free transfer.

Popularly called 'Coro', the 34-year-old has put in over 250 appearances in the Spanish La Liga and has a wealth of experience behind him having turned out for the likes of Elche, Osasuna, Mallorca and at Espanyol where he spent the best part of 10 years.

A diminutive forward, Coro largely operates as a second striker and is excellent at linking up play and occupying spaces between the opposition's defence and midfield. Boasting a quick turn of pace, Coro is known to favour the odd spectacular goal or two.

After confirming the signing, club president Akshay Tandon said: "We are pleased to have got Coro on board. Coro is exactly the sort of profile we have been after.

"We feel with the level of experience that he brings to the table, he will be a real asset to the team and a handful to the opposition."
