KOCHI: After two spells with ISL club Kerala Blasters FC , fan favourite Antonio German is all set to play once again in Kerala. The 26-year old English striker has completed his signing with I-league side Gokulam Kerala FC on Saturday and will be replacing Uganda's Henry Kisekka up front.

Kisekka joined Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan last month. The announcement was made German himself through his social media accounts on Saturday. "Happy to say that I have officially signed for Gokulam Kerala FC for the upcoming season! New season new Goals! But also once a Blaster always a Blaster and I will be in Kerala too so will be good to see all the fans again," tweeted German.

Two months ago, German had tweeted about Gokulam Kerala FC asking information from his followers about the I-league side.

German progressed through the youth setup at London club Queen's Park Rangers before making his senior debut in 2009 in the Football League Championship. For the next six years, he played for clubs like Aldershot Town, Southend United and Yeovil Town on loan and moved to Stockport County. He had also played for Brentford and Gillingham before being roped up by Blasters in 2015. He scored six goals for Blasters in the first season and returned to the Kerala side in 2016. Despite playing 14 games in the second season, he failed to score for Blasters during his second stint.

German will undoubtedly be a welcome addition to Gokulam Kerala who impressed in their debut appearance in I-league. They have already roped in VP Suhair from East Bengal FC and Rajesh S from Western Railways who was also the top scorer in the recently held Santosh Trophy national football championship.
