NEUFC signs former Mohun Bagan full back Ashutosh Mehta

6th October 2020 | NorthEast United Media
Northeast United FC is happy to announce the signing of fullback Ashutosh Mehta into the side ahead of Season 7 of the ISL. Ashutosh began his career under Coach Khalid Jamil at Mumbai FC in 2011 and since then he has featured for a host of clubs both in the I-League and the Indian Super League. He was part of Khalid Jamil’s history making Aizawl FC side, which in 2017, scripted Indian Football’s biggest underdog story by winning the I-League. Having plied his trade earlier for ISL sides Pune City FC and ATK, Ashutosh returned to Mohun Bagan for the 2019-20 season, and helped the side win their 2nd I-League Title.
Speaking on the appointment, NorthEast United’s First Team Assistant Coach Khalid Jamil said; “I have worked with Ashutosh right from the start of his career and I am proud to see him grow into a top professional. When the opportunity to sign him presented itself, we decided to act quickly and get the deal over the line. Having won 2 I-League titles in the last 4 seasons, we know that Ashutosh brings loads of experience and calibre into the defence and we expect him to play an important role as the season rolls on.”
On his appointment, Mehta added; “It is an honour to represent Northeast United in the ISL and I am looking forward to playing in the league again. I have great memories of my time here in the Northeast and look being a part of the NEUFC team. It is of course a pleasure to be working with Coach Khalid again and I am sure we are going to achieve our goals this season.”
