Apuia and Maclaren will be the two players registered outside salary cap for Mohun Bagan.
All-time top scorer of A-League and 5-time Golden Boot winner Jamie MacLaren signs for Mohun Bagan Super Giant on a 4-year deal. Mohun Bagan will register Jamie Maclaren outside the salary cap.
He will be coming to Kolkata and start practicing in Jose Molina’s team from 29th July onwards. Upon signing, he spoke with the MBSG Media Team and said the following:
“I watched a lot of Indian football, dating back to the Iain Hume days, it was on Australian sports channels, and there have been some world-class players that have also played in ISL. But the reason why Mohun Bagan, is one, is for their incredible history but also because their trophy ambitions match mine, having won a lot in Australia, I’m looking forward to adding to an already decorated group of staff and players.
“The crowds are electric and passionate and I can’t wait to play in front of the Mariners supporters. On top of all that, Indian Cuisine is one of my and my wife’s favorites, so we are looking forward to eating flavorsome dishes!”
“The Kolkata derby is a fixture that I have watched before, and to see over 60,000 inside our stadium is incredible and like always derbies are extra special for the fans who create the goosebump atmosphere.”
“I am coming here to be a piece of an already successful squad and club, my goals are to help achieve these and continue this story of being the best football club in India.”
“Dimitri Petratos, Jason Cummings. Well, I’ve had the luxury of playing alongside and against both. Dimi is a creator, a player who is very brave on the ball and chooses the right pass for his strikers, I know he will provide a lot of assists for me but also shoulder a lot of goals for himself.
“He’s a left-footed version of myself, similar history both heritages go back to Edinburgh, we both played for Hibernian and we love being inside the penalty box like any number 9 waiting to finish off chances that come our way, Greg is also another attacking threat has already shown in India his qualities but I know of him through my time in the SPL. We won’t have a problem creating and exciting our fans I can assure you of that.”
“With 5 A-League golden boots and all-time top scorer is down to the work I do during the week, and getting to know my teammates so they can read my movements, with me the goals will come when I am happy, fit, and in rhythm and another big reason I came here is that the team is already striving for continued success and that just makes me excited to be apart of a winning culture.”
“To our fans, I cannot wait to represent this badge, this city, and fight every game! The first goal will be a nice feeling, I know the standards that have been set on and off the pitch, and I will be doing my best and hardest every day so that in the end we can celebrate more trophies!
“My birthday is the same as a special day in Mohun Bagan’s history, and for that, it’s an honor to share the 29, and I hope to see my jersey in the crowds. Let’s go!”
