Mohammedan Sporting sign former East Bengal, Churchill striker Willis Plaza

KOLKATA: Mohammedan Sporting Club on Wednesday announced the signing of Trinidadian ace striker Willis Plaza.
The 32-year-old, who played for Churchill Brothers in the I-League last season, will represent MSC in the I-League qualifying tournament and also the Calcutta Football League (CFL) season.
MSC, who were on top of Group B of the 2nd Division League last season, were well on course to gain promotion to I-League, before the football season was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The former East Bengal star becomes the black-and-white brigade's second foreign signing for the 2nd Division League after MSC roped in Nigerian defender Eze Kingsley last week.
Having completed formalities, an excited Plaza said, "I am delighted to sign for Mohammedan Sporting Club. It's a great club with top players and passionate fans. I want to score goals for the club and help the club to qualify for I-League."
"When I got the offer from MSC, I didn't hesitate for one moment that I want to be here," the former East Bengal striker added.
MSC football secretary and technical director Dipendu Biswas said Plaza's addition was an important one, given his hunger for scoring.
"Plaza has a proven track-record when it comes to scoring and this is an area we needed to strengthen on the squad. The goals aside, he even has an eye for a quality final pass and we're looking forward to working with him" Dipendu said.
