Alwyn George and Nikhil Poojari join FC Pune City

Indian Super League (ISL) club FC Pune City today signed Alwyn George and Nikhil Poojari, bolstering their squad for the 2018-19 season.

Alwyn plied his trade for Bengaluru FC in the last season and will now don the orange colors of FC Pune City, a club from his home state of Maharashtra.

For Nikhil too, it will be a homecoming of sorts, as the Mumbai boy will return to Maharashtra, after spending two seasons in Kolkata playing for East Bengal.

Speaking on signing the two, FC Pune City CEO Gaurav Modwel said, "Alwyn is one of the more technical players we have in India and we feel he will suit our style of play. His flair for creating chances will bring more creativity in our play.

"Nikhil, on the other hand, is one of the most exciting young players in the country. We have been tracking him for a couple of years now. At a young age, he has already gained a good amount of professional experience and we hope that he settles well in our squad."
Excited to join the Stallions, George said, "It's a great opportunity for me to play for a team which is ambitious and professionally managed at the same time. Also it is an added advantage for me since I will play for a team from my home state."
