Speaking at the club house he said, "It's like a dream come true. I always wanted to play for Dempo as it is my childhood club. I cannot describe how excited I am about this."
He would also be a part of the squad for the upcoming I-League matches at Pune and Shillong. Sahil, who plays as an attacking central midfielder, credited his parents and brother who supported his dream.
"They always supported me to become a good player. I even changed my school for better football training. I would always be thankful to my parents and my coaches. Playing in the I-League is my objective and I know it is going to take a lot more hard work and commitment to get there, but it feels good to be another step closer," Sahil said.
