Sheikh Faiaz will be a name heard in the midfield of ATK. Aged 23, ATK will be his third Kolkata colours, after Mohammedan FC and Mohun Bagan.

Faiaz made his first club appearance for Mohammedan in July 2017 before moving to Mohun Bagan later the same year. He made his I-League debut against Minerva Punjab in November 2017.

Faiaz managed to score two goals and provide three assists for Mohun Bagan from his 18 appearances.

The decent figures for a midfielder with so little experience might have been the force that attracted the ATK management to rope in the local boy.

Being Mohun Bagan's regular supplier of balls forward, he has the caliber to do the same for the two-time champions squad in ISL.
