Kerala Blasters FC have confirmed that it has reached an agreement for the transfer of Bryce Miranda from Churchill Brothers for an undisclosed fee. The 22-year-old has penned a multi-year deal that keeps him in the club until summer 2026.
Bryce Miranda started his professional career with Mumbai FC with whom, he represented all age group teams up to U-18. He then went on to a short stint with Union Bank FC before joining FC Goa’s developmental team in 2018. A year later, he joined Income Tax FC where he had a breakout season, scoring three goals and providing 10 assists in the 2019 Mumbai Elite Division.
His energetic, lung-busting and mesmerizing performances in the Elite Division garnered a lot of attention. Amidst great interest from various ISL and I-league clubs, in 2020, Bryce was eventually signed by the Goan I-League team, Churchill Brothers. He made 33 appearances for the club and was seen as an integral part of the Goan side that was closely fighting for the I-League championship over the last 2 seasons. He also had 2 goals and 4 assists during this time.
Bryce’s impressive performances in the I-League were rewarded with a U-23 National Team Call-up for the U-23 Asian Cup Qualifiers in UAE.
Commenting on the Kerala Blasters first signing of the summer, an elated Karolis Skinkys said, “I’m happy Bryce is joining us, I hope he will adapt fast. We are always on a mission to bring players with high potential to Kerala Blasters and to help them play their best football in Kerala. Bryce is a case with high potential but also a lot of work to do.”
“It feels amazing to join Kerala Blasters. It is a club that I have wanted to be a part of for a while. It has the best fans in the country. I can’t wait to be in Kochi and meet my new teammates and play in front of The Yellow Army,” said a thrilled Bryce Miranda upon signing with his new club.
The club has already announced several long-term extensions. The addition of Bryce will further strengthen the squad as they prepare to go further than their ISL runners-up finish last year in the upcoming season. Bryce will join his teammates in Kochi at the start of the preseason.
