Mumbai City rope in Bose

- AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

Mumbai City FC continued their efforts towards building their squad for the upcoming season, signing up Bengaluru FC’s key fullback Subhasish Bose for the next two years.

MCFC said on Monday that the 22- year- old Subhasish had played a crucial part in Bengaluru FC’s run to the Indian Super League final last year and was expected to bolster their defense further.

This is the Islanders’ newest addition after they decided to retain seven players from last season’s squad.

Said Subhasish, “I am excited to be part of Mumbai City FC for the next two years. I have heard many good things about the club and am glad to be a part of it. Hopefully, we will be able to give the fans something to cheer about. Lucian Goian has been a great leader and defender in the league and I am looking forward to playing alongside and learning from him.”

Subhasish started off at the Pune FC Academy and quickly came through the ranks, turning profession­al in 2014 when he joined Churchill Brothers on loan.

He then signed for Sporting Goa in the I- League for the 201516 season and establishe­d himself as their first- choice defender.

Mohun Bagan saw his potential and signed him up for their 2016- 17 campaign. He became their primary left- back choice and played a key part in the side that finished runners- up in the Ileague.

His consistent performanc­es caught the eye of national head coach Stephen Constantin­e, who has since regularly called him for senior national team camps. Subhasish made his national debut in India’s 5- 0 win over Chinese Taipei in the opening tie of the ongoing Hero Interconti­nental Cup.
