KRL recruit Jadeed Khan from Afghan FC

Chaman-based footballer eager to prove skills in new club.

KARACHI: Former Pakistan U22 team captain Jadeed Khan has finalised a deal with the country’s leading club, KRL Football Club (FC), for the upcoming season.

Jadeed had been a part of Afghan FC for the last six years and had earlier expressed his desire to make a move to KRL FC in order to improve his game as well as utilise his talent for the club.

“I’ve got the confirmation from KRL, I can see a future for myself now,” Jadeed told The Express Tribune. “Spending six years in Afghan FC has taught me a lot; so, I’ll always cherish and make use of my experience with my old club.



“There wasn’t any growth there for me so that’s why I wanted to leave. I believe KRL is the perfect opportunity for me.”

Jadeed added that he wanted to join KRL so much that he kept other offers on hold until the Pakistan Premier Football League (PPFL) champions approached him.

The Chaman-based striker added that he wants to score for his new club in the upcoming PPFL season.

“I know I can score for any team,” he said. “I want to play abroad as well. The footballers in KRL get more exposure than any other club.

“Secondly, I’m also very excited about the opportunity of training with one of the best coaches in the country. I respect Tariq Lufti a lot and he understands the players very well.”
