The 21-year-old Panwar earlier plied his trade at the now-disbanded Pune FC and then FC Pune City before representing Hyderabad FC. The defender has now agreed to join Odisha FC on a two-year deal with an option to extend for a third year.
Panwar has also represented India in various competitions, in addition to captaining the team at the the 2017 SAFF U-18 Championship.
"Odisha FC is a club which always promotes young footballers. I am extremely delighted to sign here and looking forward to playing for the club. I wish to play for India and hope the club provides me an opportunity to show my potential in the upcoming season of the ISL," Sahil Panwar said while speaking on his move.
Odisha FC had a poor campaign in Indian Super League (ISL) Season 7, managing just a couple of wins to finish at the bottom of the points table.
The club most recently roped in football legend David Villa for a management role. Now, with the addition of Sahil Panwar and Sebastian Thangmuansang, they hope to come back with a bang next season.
