Bengaluru FC sign Paartalu

Less than a week after retaining Sunil Chhetri and Udanta Singh, Bengaluru FC have signed Australian midfielder Erik Paartalu on a season-long deal.

Paartalu began his career in the National Soccer League, now the A-League, with Northern Spirit. His stints in Australia included three seasons with Brisbane Roar. At Brisbane, Paartalu won two Championships and one Premiership and played 85 consecutive matches.
