Carl McHugh, the experienced Irish defensive midfielder, has mutually parted ways with Mohun Bagan Super Giant after four seasons with the club. The 31-year-old is now the overwhelming favorite to join FC Goa, who are looking to bolster their midfield ahead of the upcoming Indian Super League season.
McHugh made 66 appearances for Mohun Bagan, scoring three goals and providing one assist. He was a key part of the team that won the ISL title in 2020, and 2022 season, which Mohun Bagan won against Bengaluru FC on penalties.
The Irish midfielder is a versatile player who can play as a defensive midfielder, center-back, or left-back. He is known for his strong tackling and his ability to read the game. He is also a good passer of the ball and he can contribute to the attack.
FC Goa are looking to add some experience and quality to their midfield, and McHugh would be a valuable addition. He is a proven winner, and he would bring a lot to the Goa side.
The transfer is still not finalized, but it is expected to be completed soon. McHugh would be the final foreign signing for FC Goa this season.
With McHugh in their side, FC Goa will be a strong contender for the ISL title in 2023-24.
