The Sentinel (TS): Making a comeback in NEUFC this season!
Dipu: Yes. I played for this team in 2019. However due to Covid-19 and some other reasons I was not part of the team for the last two seasons. It's nice to feel that I am back again.

I also played for ASEBSC and Sunrise Club in the GSA Super Division Football League before I joined NEUFC in 2019.
TS: What is your future plan?
Dipu: I want to utilize the opportunity that I got this season and will try my best to earn a national team jersey.
