Washington, D.C. (Stone Sports Management, LLC) – March 13, 2015
Today, Stone Sports Management, LLC ("SSM") announces that Palestine-American Omar Jarun has signed a short-term contract with I-League club Bharat FC. This is a historical signing as it is believed Jarun becomes the first Palestine to play professionally in India and only the second American to do so. It is also SSM's first client to have signed in India opening a new market for future collaboration. Jarun has traveled to India to finalize paperwork and looks to join the Pune based club in time for its next match against Royal Wahingdoh on March 21st
"I am excited to start this incredible journey with Bharat FC," remarks Omar Jarun. "Bharat FC's staff and organization have been extremely professional throughout the signing process. This will be my third continent to play professionally and after having palyed in Asia with the Palestine National Team, I cannot wait to be apart of the incredible growth in Indian football."
The signing comes on the same day as Jarun and his former club, Ottawa Fury FC, agreed to mutually part ways. "I want to thank Ottawa Fury FC for having me part of the club's foundation. My wife and I enjoyed living in Ottawa and being a part of the community. I will continue to remain in touch with my teammates, the front office and the coaching staff and wish everyone well for the upcoming season and beyond."
"This is a great opportunity for Omar and applaud his commitment to his profession by taking this opportunity with an open mind and to make his mark as the first Palestine to play in India," reflected SSM's President and Players' Agent Justin B. Stone. "And to do so traveling half way across the world without his family is noble. Omar is focused on helping Bharat FC with its remaining games, and I want to thank Ottawa Fury FC, especially Coach Marc Dos Santos for his assistance in helping make this transfer happen."
Jarun and Bharat FC will have fourteen remaining matches before the season concludes on May 30, 2015. SSM would like to wish Jarun great success on his new challege in India. Click HERE to see the Bharat FC's upcoming schedule. See below video from Omar Jarun's 2014 Ottawa Fury FC season.
