Pune, July 31 (IANS) Pune FC has bought young goalkeeper Arup Debnath to complete their line-up ahead of the 2013-14 I-League season.
The 25-year-old, West Bengal-born custodian joins Pune FC after a season-long stint with Mumbai Tigers FC.
Arup’s signing is Pune FC’s fourth for the 2013-14 season after Prakash Thorat (striker), Jovel Martins (midfielder) and Anthony D’Souza (midfielder).
Arup’s signing continues to be in line with the club’s philosophy of building a young squad for the future.
“Pune FC welcomes Arup on board. I am sure his age syncs with our objectives of building a youthful and exciting side for the season. I wish him all the best during his stint with us,” said Pune FC Head Operations, Chirag Tanna.
