Iain Hume, who is the all-time top scorer in the ISL with 23 goals across three seasons, rejoins the team for the fourth season of ISL. Kerala Blasters FC have announced the signing of Canadian striker in there official twitter.

The 33-year-old is a huge fan favourite in Kochi after his heroics in the inaugural season where he scored five goals and led the team to the finals of the tournament, winning the Hero of the League award in the process. However, the striker moved to ATK the following year and spent two highly productive seasons there.

Hume scored 18 goals over two seasons for ATK and won the ISL last year, ironically at the expense of Kerala Blasters. The Blasters management, however, made the capture of the fan favourite a priority before the 2017 season and have moved quickly to get his signature ahead of other interested clubs.
