23-year old Sean was the leading scorer in the Australian National Youth League of 2008 and has earned three caps in U-20 World Cup held in 2009.
“Sean, who has been training with the team for a week, has impressed Salgaocar’s coach Karim Bencherifa with his skills, technique and a deft scoring touch in which he has scored in all the three friendly matches he has played,” said Bencherifa.
Salgaocar’s other foreign players include Brazilian captain Luciano Soborosa, Quinton Jacobs and former HAL striker Hamza.
