New I-League entrant JSW Sports Thursday announced they have signed India international striker Robin Singh.
Robin, 23, who made his India debut at the 2012 Nehru Cup, signed a two-year contract with the Bangalore-based club after spending three seasons at East Bengal.
"There was more than one reason to sign for this club. It's going to be a young squad and the way they are going about setting up the club is very professional. I'm really excited to be part of this team," said Singh, who was named among the 30 probables by national coach Wim Kovermans for the upcoming friendly against Tajikistan.
He even scored a goal against Chinese Taipei in an AFC Challenge Cup Qualifier in Myanmar earlier this year.
JSW Sports CEO Mustafa Ghouse said the club is pleased to have Robin on board.
"Robin possesses tremendous potential and we are happy to have signed him. We are certain he will do well at the club and strike a chord with the fans in Bangalore."
