Pune Football Club has signed seasoned attacker Bineesh Balan for the upcoming 2014-15 I-League season, the club announced today.
Bineesh, a former I-League and Federation Cup winner, joins Pune FC after a trophy-laden six-season spell with Goan side Churchill Brothers.
The Thissur-born attacker thus becomes the fifth Indian and seventh overall signing under Coach Karim Bencherifa.
"I am extremely happy to be a part of the Pune FC family. I have won a lot with Churchill Brothers in the last six years, and want to achieve the same success with Pune FC," said the new signee.
"Bineesh's explosive pace and eye for goal makes him an important signing for our Club. He played a very important role when Churchill Brothers won the I-League a couple of years back, and I am certain that he will do very well at Pune FC," said Pune FC Head, Operations, Chirag Tanna.
