Salgaocar's Duffy , Last Foreign Recruit To Sign For FC Goa

Darryl Duffy Signs for FC Goa

Salgaocar FC mercurial striker Darryl Duffy is the last foreign recruit to sign for FC Goa. “The team is set after the signing of Duffy,” a senior FC Goa disclosed. “ It is a great opportunity for me. I am delighted and eagerly awaiting the challenges,” Duffy said. Darryl Duffy will be leaving for pre-season training in Dubai with the rest of the team tomorrow (September 2)

Salgaocar FC will be playing the remaining part of GFA’s Pro League without Darryl. The Scotsman absence will swirl the heads of many Salgaocar FC fans. Darryl Duffy played a pivotal role in SalgaocarFC’s win in the Pro League and Durand cup last season. But , things started going askew after he was straddled by injuries for the remaining part of last season. In the end, Salgaocar FC just managed to avoid relegation.

“Salgaocar have some good youngsters. This is a chance for them to prove themselves in the Professional League. I don’t think the team will suffer in my absence. It is a chance for the others to prove themselves. The Pro League offers a good platform,” Duffy said.

Salgaocar FC did not impress in the recently concluded Charity match with Sporting Clube de Goa. They did flare up occasionally when Duffy came in as a substitute in the second half. But , the spark was missing in his absence in the first half.

Duffy joins Goa’s Victorino and Brazilian Simoes in the FC Goa attack. Both Victorino and Duffy have sharp and strong feet in front of the goal. They both have the temperament of strikers and do not shy at taking pot-shots at goals from even a distance.
