KOLKATA, Nov 09 (PTI) Mohammedan Sporting Club's Bangladeshi recruit Jamal Bhuyan is keen to help the legacy team win the I-League and revive its glory days.
For the Bangladesh national team captain, the long stay in the eastern metropolis will also be an opportunity to connect with his roots, as his ancestors had lived here before Independence.
Newly promoted I-League side Mohammedan SC have named Jamal as one of their latest signings ahead of their next campaign.
"An offer from the I-League is very good for me. So when Mohammedan Sporting approached me I asked around to know more about their rich history," Jamal told the AIFF website.
"They just earned promotion and now want to win the league. I felt that this is the kind of intent I want to play with, and that I can make an impact there."
Being from Bangladesh, the 30-year-old will look to settle quickly into life in Kolkata and feels that knowing Bengali will help him develop a connection with the local players.
