Stephen Pearson in action for the Blasters in 2014

Stephen Pearson should be a familiar name for the fans of Kerala Blasters. Pearson, who was in Kerala Blasters’ arsenal in the inaugural season, gave them some great show of football.

The Scot appeared for Kerala Blasters in 17 games and scored one goal during his time with the club in 2014. He scored a fantastic goal against Chennayin FC in the dying stages of the game which ensured them a spot in the final of ISL-1.

After his successful stint at Kerala, Pearson played for Motherwell and then made a return to ISL to play for Kerala Blasters’ arch-rivals Atletico de Kolkata.

Pearson mastered the midfield of Atletico de Kolkata, helping them win the ISL for the second instance.

Inventive Sports CEO Baljit Rihal, who has a strong link with Kerala Blasters management and helped them sign quite a few players, visited Stephen Pearson at Soccerex and this has brought about rumours regarding his return to the Blasters fold.
