Two-time champion Chennaiyin FC has signed Bengal captain and defender Monotosh Chakladar ahead of the upcoming Indian Super League Season 9.
Chakladar is the third fresh signing for the Marina Machans this summer. It is also a maiden ISL contract for the 24-year-old footballer, who captained Bengal in the 75th Santosh Trophy last month and played a crucial role in the team’s runner-up finish.
“All of us at the club are aware of his leadership qualities and performance in the Santosh Trophy and we are excited to have him bring those qualities to the fold. I am certain he will fit in seamlessly into the team, and raise the overall level,” Chennaiyin FC co-owner Vita Dani said.
