The 23-year-old continued his impressive performances season by season and his numbers kept on improving, earning him a vital tag in the team. In the latest Hero ISL 2021-22 season, Jerry put up yet another fantastic show, managing 68 tackles, 31 blocks, 24 clearances, and 15 interceptions across 18 matches.
A promising player living up to his name, the defender might not be the Marina Machans’ torchbearer but is one of the hardest workers amongst the team besides holding an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the Chennaiyin FC supporters, a release said.
Thank you Deepak Devrani and @Davinder32 for your contributions last season! 💙
