Atletico de Kolkata : Players to watch out for

Iain Hume

A Scotish-born Canadian, Iain Hume brilliantly took over from Postiga last season. In the process, he scored 11 goals and took the club to the semis where a bad game would rob them of a place in the finals.

Atletico acquired Iain Hume from the Kerala Blasters franchise before the last season. He registered his first goals in the form of a hat-trick on 1 November in a 4–1 win over Mumbai City FC. He also scored a treble against Pune City FC at home.

Following this, he hardly took a wrong step as he guided Atletico to the semi-finals with an impressive tally of 11 goals. He secured the second spot in the Indian Super League Golden Boot, two goals behind winner Chennayin striker Stiven Mendoza. However, he bagged the award for the season’s fittest player.

Iain Hume has featured in several youth championships for Canada and finally made his senior debut in 2003. He was also associated with current Premier League champions, Leicester City.
