Joel Chianese had a mixed campaign with Hyderabad FC last season. After suffering an ankle injury against Bengaluru FC in the early stages of the season, Chianese missed a lot of games due to injuries.
But when Chianese returned he struck top form immediately, performing whenever the team needed it the most. In the 12 matches he played, he scored thrice and provided one assist.
The Australian forward was extremely comfortable with the ball and most of his contributions came through the flanks. He also showed himself to be a versatile player, with the ability to switch sides easily. With Liston Colaco leaving the club, Joel Chianese would be expected to lead Hyderabad FC's attack in next season's ISL.
