Santosh Trophy, I-League and now ISL - Britto PM is scripting a comeback
At the start of the decade, Malayali striker Britto PM was at Pune FC and was the top scorer of the U-19 league. He had impressed the coaching staff and was set to earn a promotion to their senior team. His career seemed to be taking off. But it didn't.
Britto suffered a bad injury that kept him out of professional football for multiple years. He has had to work his way back up to the top tier after the setback.
He started with Kerala-based Quartz SC and Eagles FC before earning a contract with Churchill Brothers and making a mark in the then top division. What changed Britto's life, however, was a job in the Indian Navy in 2014 when all hopes of a return to professional football seemed lost.
