Aged 22, Colaco can also play as a striker while also possesses speed and dribbling abilities. Meanwhile, since the number of overseas players for the ISL sides is to be reduced, club boss Antonio Lopez Habas wants to reinforce the squad with Indian talents.

“It’s a great honour for me. It feels great to know that i will play for Kolkata in the Green-Maroon jersey. A new chapter has begun in my football career. I will try my best,” said Colaco to ATKMB upon being roped in.
