Bibhash Lodh, BS News Agency: Scottish striker Lee Harry Erwin is coming to Kolkata on Monday to don the green maroon jersey of Mohun Bagan Super Giant. He will start training from Tuesday. The club's contract with 32-year-old Erwin is for one year. Erwin, who is 6 feet 2 inches tall, is mainly a box striker. He is good at scoring goals. He is skilled in putting pressure on the opponent's defense with the help of strength and skill. Due to his height, he has the extra ability to score goals from set pieces.
Erwin was at the Al Faizli club in Georgetown last year. Before that, he played for many clubs in the Scottish and English leagues with great reputation. He caught the eye in the jerseys of world-renowned clubs Motherwell, Leeds United, Bury FC, Tractor FC. Now that Erwin has joined Mohun Bagan Super Giant, the team has gained strength, and the green and maroon coach Panos has also got the opportunity to use alternative footballers.
Erwin's reaction after signing for Mohun Bagan, "This is the first time I am coming to play for an Indian team. I had offers to play for several ISL clubs in India. But since Mohun Bagan is the best club in India, I decided to play for them. I have heard from Scottish footballer friends who have played here that Mohun Bagan can compete with any football team in the world in terms of professionalism and philosophy. Moreover, Mohun Bagan SG is above all in terms of success and tradition. The passion and enthusiasm of the members and supporters of this club have given me extra encouragement to put on the green and maroon jersey. I have been in the middle of regular training. I hope that I will be able to quickly build a rapport with the rest of the team. I will try to bring the team a trophy with my best and fulfill the expectations of the fans."
