Dane Pereira has been one of the mainstays of Mumbai F.C. since 2007, his solid presence and maturity in the middle of the park making him an indispensable cog in the Mumbai machine. The hard tackling defensive midfielder sits deep and disrupt attacks as well as launching some of his own. He can also play as side back. Pereira started as a youth player but moved up to the senior team soon enough and has not looked back since.
