Lalthanmawia Renthlei, fondly known as Amawia, is one of the exciting talents in Kerala Blasters’ 2024-25 squad.  The 22-year-old winger from Mizoram, who signed a three-year deal with the club in June 2024, is settling into the team’s rhythm and honing his skills to make an impact in the Indian Super League 2024-25 season. Early Career and Rise at Aizawl FC Amawia started his football journey with Aizawl FC’s U-14 team in 2015. After six years of development, he was promoted to the senior team in 2021. Over the course of three seasons, he made 42 appearances in the I-League, scoring five goals and providing eight assists. His departure from Aizawl in May 2024 marked the end of a nine-year chapter, as he took on new challenges with Kerala Blasters. New Beginnings with Kerala Blasters FC Since joining Kerala Blasters, Amawia has made seven appearances, debuting on December 22 against Mohammedan SC.  Utilized mainly as an impact substitute, he has come off the bench six times and started once in the Blasters’ last fixture against Chennaiyin FC.  While he hasn’t registered any goal contributions yet, his performances have highlighted his agility and flair, creating space and unsettling opposition defenses. With the season heading into its defining moments, Amawia will aim to keep growing and be a key contributor for Kerala Blasters.
