Mumbai City are delighted to confirm that the club has completed the signing of Wilmar Jordán Gil. The Colombian centre-forward joins the Islanders on a one-year deal until the end of the 2026/27 season.
Jordán began his senior career in Colombia before moving to Venezuela, where he made a name for himself with Monagas, scoring 19 goals in his first season. He then moved to South Korea, representing Gyeongnam and Seongnam, before joining Bulgarian side Litex Lovech. It was there that he enjoyed one of the most prolific spells of his career, scoring 29 goals in 54 appearances and finishing as the Bulgarian top-flight’s joint-top scorer in the 2013/14 season.
He subsequently played in Portugal, Colombia and Venezuela before moving to India in 2022. He represented NorthEast United FC, Punjab FC and Chennaiyin FC, scoring 26 goals across his three Indian Super League campaigns. He also finished as the top scorer in the 2023 Super Cup, scoring seven goals.
Jordán arrives at the City of Dreams on the back of a strong season with Malaysian side Immigration FC, where he scored 11 goals and provided 4 assists. His finishing, strong presence in the box, and experience of Indian football make him a valuable addition to the Islanders’ squad.
Wilmar Jordán Gil, Forward of Mumbai City, said:
“Mumbai is a city with incredible character and energy, and I am very excited to have the opportunity to represent it on the football pitch. I am really looking forward to this new chapter with Mumbai City. I want to bring my personality and style of football to the team, enjoy every moment, and hopefully create some special memories along the way.”
Manolo Márquez, Head Coach of Mumbai City, said:
“Jordán is a player with strong physical qualities, intensity, and a highly competitive mentality. He gives us another attacking option and adds a different dimension to the squad. We are looking forward to working with him and helping him settle in and make a valuable contribution to the team.”
