MARGAO

FC Goa on Monday announced the signing of 25-year-old Mizoram goalkeeper Lalthuammawia Ralte from Bengaluru FC.

Ralte is a young, agile goalkeeper who started his senior career with Shillong Lajong in 2011 and debuted against Churchill Brothers the same year.

He contributed to Shillong Lajong’s success, taking them to the semi-finals of the Federation Cup the same year.

He joined defending I-league champions Bengaluru FC thereafter in the summer of 2014 and made his debut a few months later. He helped Bengaluru FC to the I-league title once again in his debut season.

On singing, Ralte said, “I am honoured to have signed for FC Goa and am really looking forward to playing and learning from coach Sergio Lobera. The team performed very well last year in the Indian Super League and Super Cup and I hope I can help the team achieve its target of winning the league.”

This is FC Goa’s third signing of the summer after Lenny Rodrigues and Jackichand Singh.
