Mohammedan SC have completed the signing of experienced defender Munmun Timothy Lugun as the Black Panthers add depth to their squad ahead of their 2020 I-League qualifier campaign. Munmun, who turned out for Punjab FC last season, arrived in Kolkata this morning.

Munmun brings experience and proficiency to the Mohammedan SC squad having featured regularly in the I-League and ISL over eight years.

At Mohammedan SC, Munmun Lugun will be reunited with his former coach Yan Law.

Having touched down at NSB International Airport, an excited Munmun said, “I am very excited to have joined Mohammedan Sporting and I look forward to working under coach Yan Law once again.  I am very thankful to the Mohammedan Sporting management for giving me this opportunity and putting their trust in me making me a part of the team.
