“This step is a big challenge for me and I will give my all every single day. The management and the coach have shown confidence in bringing me to this club and I want to repay it. This move will also give me an opportunity to learn from experienced players like Sunil (Chhetri) bhai and Gurpreet (Sandhu) bhai and I look forward to meeting all my teammates soon.
Speaking on the club’s latest acquisition, head coach Marco Pezzauloli said, “He is a versatile player who can fill in both right-backs and centre-backs. Importantly, his approach matches that of ours at the club, which makes it a positive start. He has played for many clubs in the last five seasons and will only gain experience in Bengaluru.”
Golui, who represented India at the Under-16 and Under-19 levels, made his senior national team debut against Sri Lanka at the 2018 SAFF Championships in Bangladesh. With his pace and ability to take the ball further into the attack, Pezzauloli said Golui would be a valuable addition to his squad.
