Odisha FC is delighted to announce the signing of Hitesh Sharma on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

The midfielder joins the #KalingaWarriors following spells with Hyderabad FC, and ATK.

Hitesh is a Tata Football Academy graduate who joined Mumbai in the I-League. There were a few appearances here and there, but then the midfielder moved to ATK in the Indian Super League.

Sharma garnered a sum of 34 total appearances for the Kolkata-based side. He then signed for Hyderabad FC in the 2019-20 season and became one of the hottest players in the league in that position.

The Punjab-born midfielder and Hyderabad FC were crowned the ISL Cup winners in the 2021-22 season.

The club would like to welcome Hitesh to the fold and wishes him the best for his time here in Odisha.

Hitesh said: "I am very happy to have joined the Kalinga Warriors. They have been improving year on year and that is something that attracted me to the club. There is a sense of unity and togetherness in the squad. I can't wait to get started."

Sergio commented: "Hitesh is a technically very good player, he is intelligent and knows how to interpret the game very well. He is a player who can help us in the present and the future of this project."
