Since childhood Jestin George has been passionate about playing football. To make his dream come true, his father would borrow money from neighbours and relatives to meet son’s requirement in playing the game and become a professional football player.
“The financial condition was very bad at our home. My father, who was a labourer, used to borrow money from people to provide me financial support in playing football. He would take me to a ground to play football. Without family’s support, I would not have reached this place where I am today. I am making good earnings now and taking care of my family,” Jestin, a 24-year-old footballer from Kerala, said.
“I have played in several countries including in Oman. This is all because of my family’s support which motivated me to continue my passion for football.”
Playing at center back position, he has been part of Kerala team which played in Santosh Trophy and Durand Cup. He has joined Real Kashmir Football Club (RKFC) to play I-League 2022-2023.
Jestin has played for Bangalore FC, Gokulum Kerala FC in I-League. He also played in ISL for North East United. “RKFC is a good team and is one of favourites to clinch the I-League title,” he added.
