GUWAHATI: NorthEast United FC on Thursday announced the signing of two young Indian footballers — Fredy Chawngthansanga and Shighil Nambrath — on two-year contracts.
Both Fredy and Shighil Nambrath honed their skills in the youth setup at Bengaluru FC, showcasing their prowess in 2nd Division League matches. Their exceptional performances culminated in a remarkable victory at the 2023 Reliance Foundation Development League National Championship earlier this year.
Now, the 20-year-old midfielders are hoping to make their mark in the Indian Super League (ISL) while training with the NorthEast United FC first team.
NorthEast United FC assistant coach Naushad Moosa, who closely observed the youngsters grow during their time at Bengaluru FC, praised the two signings.
“Fredy and Shighil were under my wing for four years and it has been a joy to watch them grow. Their under-standing of our football philosophy is commendable. They possess exceptional technical skills and are fully aware of the playing principles of our head coach, Juan Pedro Benali,” said Moosa in a media release issued by the club. IANS
