Andre Green has officially signed with Kerala Blasters FC on a season-long deal, making him the first official foreign signing under the club’s new Al Fursan consortium ownership era. The 28-year-old English attacker, a former Aston Villa winger, arrives as a free agent and has already landed in India to join the Kerala Blasters’ pre-season training camp in Chennai. His swift integration into the squad underscores the club’s urgency to prepare for the upcoming Indian Super League season under head coach Ashley Westwood. Watch Video
Westwood spearheaded this transfer, explicitly identifying Green as a top overseas priority due to his tactical flexibility. Green can deploy dynamically across either wing, preferring the left, or shift inside as a secondary striker to fit Westwood’s preferred 4-4-2 setup. This versatility makes him a valuable asset for the Blasters, who are rebuilding their squad after a period of transition. His ability to operate in multiple attacking positions gives Westwood tactical options and depth in the final third.
Green brings extensive top-tier experience to the Indian Super League. A product of the Aston Villa academy, he has featured in the English Premier League and the EFL Championship with clubs including Aston Villa, Portsmouth, and Sheffield United. Most recently, he played top-flight European football in Slovakia and for the Portuguese Primeira Liga side AVS. His pedigree and exposure to competitive European leagues position him as a significant addition to the Blasters’ attacking lineup.
The signing of Andre Green marks the beginning of a new chapter for Kerala Blasters under the Al Fursan consortium. With the pre-season camp underway and more signings expected to follow, the club is wasting no time in assembling a competitive squad for the 2026-27 campaign. Green’s arrival signals the new ownership’s intent to invest in quality foreign talent and provide the coaching staff with the tools needed to challenge for honors. Fans will be eager to see him in action as the season approaches.
