Shock for Chennaiyin FC: Connor Shields leaves the club after a dream performance!
Scottish striker Connor Shields is leaving Chennaiyin FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) after a strong but overall disappointing season. Although the team only finished 11th in the 2024-25 season and missed the playoffs, Shields was able to shine as an outstanding individual. He joined the club in 2023 and has already made 21 appearances with five goals in his debut season. In the current season, his performance increased significantly as he scored the most assists in the league, eight in total, while also creating a remarkable 76 chances - the highest ever recorded in an ISL season. This reports Indian Super League.
With 34 goals scored, Chennaiyin FC were able to score eight more goals than in the previous season, but the overall result is still disappointing. The team was only able to record seven wins in 24 games and only collected 27 points overall. Coach Owen Coyle will feel the void that Shields leaves, as he not only played as a winger, but also impressed in various roles. No game in which Shields contributed a goal or an assist ended in defeat for Chennaiyin FC, underlining his value. The team's creative mind was indispensable to his teammates and put in some of the best performances in the league, evident in his ability to deliver dangerous crosses and exploit space.

In addition to Connor Shields, Ryan Edwards, who served as captain in the 2024-25 season, is also leaving Chennaiyin FC. Edwards, with the team since 2023, played a total of 42 games in two years and made 20 appearances last season. He scored one goal and recorded two clean sheets. His departure was announced before Shields on Thursday.
