Lajong signs three players

SHILLONG, JAN 15 Shillong Lajong Football Club-SLFC- announced the re-signing of Brazilian Uilliams Souza and former captain Minchol Son.

Lajong has also secured the services of Nigerian Penn Orji. Penn has been hugely successful in his playing career in India, last playing for ISL finalist Kerala Blasters. He has been playing in India for the past 5 years with Kolkata giants East Bengal & Mohammedan Sporting having previously played for JCT.  He has joined the Reds this season boosting the attacking threat of the team.

Both players are familiar with the club and cannot wait to play in front of Lajong fans again this season. The club will also retain the services of Cornell Glen, who scored 14 goals last season in the I League.

Larsing M. Sawyan said ‘I am very excited about the prospects of the Uilliams, Minchol, Penn & Glen joining a strong Lajong contingent to help the team do better than last season. We hope they live up to the expectations of the club and fans and wish them all the very best this year.’
