ISL 2023-24: This club feels like home – Parthib Gogoi on extending contract with NorthEast United FC

NorthEast United FC’s midfielder Parthib Gogoi is delighted to extend his contract with the club. Gogoi has extended his contract by four years and said the club feels like home. The 20-year-old penned a new deal on Monday and he would want to repay the faith shown in him.

The midfielder has been in terrific form for the Highlanders, scoring three goals in as many matches in the ongoing season of the Indian Super League 2023-24.

Gogoi started his football career with Ozone FC. He later made a move to Indian Arrows. He scored one goal and provided two assists for the club in the 2021 edition of the I-league and then netted two goals and provided one assist in the last season of the tournament.

The youngster was also part of the Under-20 SAFF Championship and his impressive performances helped the team in going all the way in the tournament.

Reflecting on his contract extension with the Highlanders, Gogoi expressed his emotions, saying, “Every time I step on the field, it gives me goosebumps. I will never forget my first professional goal in the ISL against Mumbai City FC. From there to my first senior hat-trick against Shillong Lajong, scoring these goals here has been a privilege. Now, it’s time to start a new chapter.”

“This club feels like home. I can’t imagine being anywhere else. Let’s make the next chapter legendary,” Gogoi remarked.

Gogoi has been playing with his elder brother Pragyan at NorthEast United FC since last year and gave gratitude to the club for making their parents’ dream come true.

“My parents dreamt about us playing together. NorthEast United FC made it happen last year,” he stated.

NorthEast United FC have won one, lost one, and drawn one game in the ongoing season of the ISL.
