Bhubaneswar: Odisha FC have recruited Spanish attacking player Aridai Cabrera for the upcoming VIIIth edition of the Indian Super League (ISL). The 32-year-old Aridai Cabrera mainly plays on the wings. He comes with a vast experience of playing professional football for various Spanish teams after starting his youth career with Universidad LP. He also made his maiden senior appearance for Universidad B in 2006 and played for their senior team the very next year. Cabrera has also represented other clubs like Mallorca, Girona FC, Betis B, Hospitalet, Sabadell FC, Huracan, Valencia, Cultural Leonesa and Las Palmas.

Odisha FC head coach Kiko Ramirez also felt that the recruitment of Cabrera will certainly be beneficial for the club. “Cabrera is an electric player who can change the game with the magic that is needed in football. He is a footballer with a very refined technical quality and capable of surpassing the opponents with his feints. He is a dribbler and with his speed, we can say that he is a different footballer. If he is motivated and people are with him, he can have a big impact in the ISL,” Ramirez said.
