Junior National BC Roy Trophy: Jamshedpur FC have signed young talented local striker Samir Murmu on a two-year deal. The 22-year-old sensation from Bhagabandh village near Ghatsila has already made a name for himself in the football circuit, impressing with his goal-scoring prowess.

Born to Karthik and Joba Murmu, Samir's love for football was ignited by his elder brother Prakash Murmu, who inspired him to take up the sport. Samir began his football journey at the Football Feeder Centre, supported by the Tata Steel Foundation, where he honed his skills under the guidance of coach Kanu Murmu. His talent and dedication quickly earned him a spot at the Army Boys Hostel, Danapur Bihar Regiment, where he represented both Bihar and the Army in numerous tournaments.
