"This will be my first season in the ISL, and it’s a great opportunity," Sweden added.

"It won’t be an easy affair, but my target is to work hard to break in to the first team and then become a regular," he further said.

"Promoting youth is of utmost importance for us at Hyderabad FC and we want to not just develop but provide opportunities to promising young talent," said Hyderabad FC co-owner Varun Tripuraneni.
