Kerala Blasters FC

Sreekuttan signs contract extension

The Blasters are delighted to announce that Sreekuttan M.S. has signed a new contract, which will keep him at the club until May 2027. The 21-year-old forward from Trivandrum has steadily progressed through the club’s developmental system and remains an exciting talent in the Blasters’ attacking lineup.

Sreekuttan joined Kerala Blasters FC reserves in 2022 and has since featured in various competitions, including the RF Development League, the Kalinga Super Cup, and the Durand Cup. He also netted a vital goal in the RF Development League, demonstrating both composure and an eye for goal in high-pressure moments.

After gaining valuable experience with the U21 and reserve teams, Sreekuttan made his senior team debut during the 2023-24 season and has continued to train regularly with the first team. A hardworking centre forward known for his physical presence and sharp instincts inside the box, he made an immediate impact in the Super Cup, scoring in just two appearances. His journey reflects the success of the club’s development pathway and its commitment to nurturing local talent.

Abhik Chatterjee, CEO of Kerala Blasters FC, expressed his delight at the extension:

“At Kerala Blasters FC, no matter the challenges of the current football landscape or the weight of expectations, we remain steadfast in our belief in promoting young talent, especially those who come from Kerala. Sreekuttan is a perfect example of a player who has risen through the ranks with hard work and perseverance. We are extremely proud of his progress and wish him and his family the very best as he continues his journey in yellow.”

Karolis Skinkis, Sporting Director of Kerala Blasters, shared his perspective:

Sreekuttan has been patient concerning his development and growth over the last few years within our reserve team ecosystem. He is a player with very good energy, a threat in transitions and has a natural goal-scoring ability.

Sreekuttan made a positive and lasting impression on David. He got the opportunity to express himself in the Kalinga Super Cup. We look forward to him developing his skill sets further and hope he will become a player to watch out for in the ISL in the upcoming seasons.

Reacting to his contract extension, Sreekuttan M.S. said:

“It means everything to me to continue with Kerala Blasters. This club has been my home and has helped me grow at every level. I’m truly grateful to the coaches and management for their trust, and I will keep pushing myself to give my best every single day.”

Kerala Blasters FC continues to uphold its philosophy of identifying promising young players and providing them with the platform to shine at the highest level of Indian football.
