East Bengal have loaned out Javier Siverio to Jamshedpur FC for the remainder of the season.

The Red Miners have secured the services of Spanish forward Javier Siverio, who has struggled at the Kolkata club this season.

The 26-year-old forward joins the Men of Steel after having established himself as one of the leading foreign strikers in India in recent seasons. The Spaniard recently triumphed in the Kalinga Super Cup 2024 with East Bengal FC and won the ISL with Hyderabad two years ago.

Upon completion of the signing, head coach Khalid Jamil said, "Acquiring Javier Siverio is a positive move. He brings valuable experience and versatility to the team, addressing our need for reliable support and a dependable option in the offensive third. I'm very excited to have him on board. The club has done a tremendous job to recruit a player like him."

The Spaniard will be hoping to resurrect his career with the Men of Steel as he joins them.

"I'm thrilled to be part of recent ISL league shield-winners, Jamshedpur. I eagerly anticipate experiencing the vibrant atmosphere, akin to the Furnace, and aim to contribute to the team's goals this season. Having faced coach Khalid Jamil's teams in the past, I know the level of competition and style of play, so I'm excited about the prospect of playing under his guidance for the remainder of the season," Siverio said.

Javier graduated from the UD Las Palmas academy in 2015 and represented Spanish teams such as Las Palmas B, Racing Santander B, and Racing Santander before moving to Hyderabad ahead of the 2021-22 season.

He has 20 goals to his name during his time in India across all competitions. The forward scored a goal for the Red and Gold Brigade in the Kalinga Super Cup, which has been his solitary goal for the Kolkata giants. The 26-year-old is set to wear the no. 9 for Jamshedpur FC and is available in their next match.
