The 23-year-old has shown promise through his performance in the I-League and will want to carry on the same in the top-tier league. Uvais has played for clubs like FC Kerala and FC Bengaluru United so far in his career and this will be the defenders debut in the ISL.
Despite Uvais’ arrival at the club, the management will need to ensure that they sign more players in the transfer window considering that the likes of Greg Stewart, Mobashir Rahman, Narender Gahlot have all left and they will need to sign replacements for them soon.
