Bio

Denson Devadas hails from a sporting family. His grandfather played hockey and his father was a footballer. He was captain of both his school and university teams and represented them for five years. Devadas signed as striker when Viva Kerala was launched in 2002 but coach TK Chathuni started playing him in the midfield where, to his credit, he has successfully adapted. The defensive midfielder is noted for his industriousness and tackling. Mohun Bagan, his current club, voted him their Player of the Year for 2012-13.

The all-action midfielder was a regular fixture at Chennaiyin FC in Hero ISL 2014 and was part of FC Goa last year. Devadas will be hoping for more minutes on the pitch with Delhi this season.
