New Delhi, June 16 (IANS) Indian Super League (ISL) franchise Delhi Dynamos FC announced on Thursday that they have retained dynamic Spanish goalkeeper Toni Doblas for the third edition of the tournament later this year.

Doblas did a great job of guarding the Delhi Dynamos fortress during season 2 of the ISL. He kept three clean sheets in his 12 appearances.

Despite injury concerns and niggles, Doblas managed to do a great job of staying match fit and living up to the high expectations of head coach Roberto Carlos and the club.

"I am excited to be back with Delhi Dynamos FC I hope to play a lot more games this season and keep as many clean sheets as possible. I am fit and ready to start every game," Doblas said in a release.

Doblas was not only a great team-mate to the other goalkeepers on the squad but also mentored the Dynamos' young star goalkeeper Sanjiban Ghosh.

Sanjiban and Doblas will be sharing the locker-room this season as well, and Ghosh is thrilled.

"It was great to have Toni on the team. I learnt a lot from his experiences and that has helped me grow as a goalkeeper," Ghosh said.
