NEROCA set to sign Sebastian Thangmuansang from Pune City
The youngster has plied his trade for the Stallions' age-group sides so far.
FC Pune City and Neroca FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of Sebastian Thangmuansang on Friday. The 19-year-old has been with the Pune-based club for a while and was a part of the club’s junior teams. Having won the IFA Shield in 2017, the young defender was loaned to Chennai City FC in I-League last season where he notched up 12 appearances. His performances caught the eye of Neroca FC and the Imphal-based club have now signed the player on a permanent transfer.
Gaurav Modwel, CEO of FC Pune City said, “While there was interest from a couple of I-League clubs, Sebastian’s desire was to play for Neroca FC since he hails from Manipur. Our best wishes are with him and I am confident that he will do well for Neroca."
Sebastian expressed his delight on making the switch, “I feel it is the right time and the right move for me. I really enjoyed my time at FC Pune City and can surely say that they have the best youth development structure in the country.
