As reported by Khel Now earlier, I-League outfit Mohammedan Sporting Club have beefed up their squad with the signing of Trinidadian ace Marcus Joseph, ahead of the new season. The 30-year-old marksman becomes Mohammedan’s fourth and final foreign signing for the new season, and the only second Caribbean player at the Club.

Joseph is a prolific striker and has found the net almost regularly for all the clubs. Besides the roles of a striker, he can also double up as a left winger.

Joseph made his debut for his country on March 3, 2013. So far he has played 21 matches, scoring 7 goals. He recently represented Trinidad and Tobago in the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup Qualifiers where he also found the net against Montserrat.

Mohammedan Sporting Treasurer MD. Akram was ecstatic to add the Trinidadian striker to the squad as he said, “Marcus Joseph adds a new dimension to our attack. He is a quality player and has a proven track record in Indian football. It is vital as well to have players who have experience, because we have a very good bunch of young players but you also need a good weight of experience in the team and Marcus will contribute to that.”
