East Bengal FC completed the signing of Edmund Lalrindika from Inter Kashi FC on a three-year contract on Sunday.
Edmund, previously played for EBFC during the 2019-20 I-League season on loan from Bengaluru FC, now returns to the Red and Gold Brigade after five years.
“I’ve always dreamed of returning to East Bengal. I sustained an injury on my debut during my first stint. It couldn’t get more unfortunate because it happened during a derby at the VYBK,” Edmund said. Moreover, he said “Now that I am back, I believe I have some unfinished business here. I want to give my all, score goals, win derbies and tournaments for this great club,”
EBFC head coach Oscar Bruzon expressed his delight with the signing of the young attacker stating, “Edmund is just fresh from an outstanding season with Inter Kashi, even earning well-deserved national team call-ups. We’ve been tracking his performances very closely.”
“I am happy because we’ve secured a player who is growing in stature and can truly make a difference in diverse attacking situations,” he added.
“Edmund’s return is a massive boost for us. His proven track record, versatility and familiarity with East Bengal’s ethos and passionate fan base make him an exciting addition,” EBFC Head of Football, Thangboi Singto, said.
“We believe he will play a pivotal role in our ambition to chase and win major titles,” Singto stated.
