India Super League: Chennaiyin FC rope in midfielder Sourav Das for 2 years

Two-time Indian Super League (ISL) champions Chennaiyin FC have signed midfielder Sourav Das on a two-year deal, the club confirmed on Thursday.

Das, who has previously played for Mumbai City, East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, will strengthen Chennaiyin's midfield, consisting of experienced Anirudh Thapa and youngster Jiteshwor Singh, who was signed by the club earlier.

"We are very happy to welcome hard-working and combative midfielder Sourav Das to Chennaiyin FC. He has impressed at the three clubs that he has played for so far and we are confident that he can carry over that quality into next season with us," said Chennaiyin FC co-owner Vita Dani, in a release.

The 25-year-old footballer will be joining the Marina Machans from SC East Bengal for whom he played two seasons in the ISL. Last season, Das played 18 matches, recording 66 tackles and 25 interceptions for the Red and Gold Brigade. IANS
