Will never turn up for East Bengal, says Ruidas

Promising winger Abinash Ruidas on Wednesday claimed breach of trust by East Bengal and vowed never to turn up for the red-and-gold brigade. Ruidas made his name in East Bengal after a spectacular debut in 2014-15 but his love affair turned sour as his talks for 2017 -18 failed.

"I've had such a good relation with East Bengal, my father is also a die-hard red-and-gold supporter but now I will never play for East Bengal," Ruidas said. Ruidas claimed that he never signed for East Bengal for 2017-18 and they have "forged" his signature. "I've made inquiries with IFA but they are not showing any contract. I never signed for 2017-18. They are also saying 'come for settlement' and sign the contract. If I signed the contract then why they are asking me to sign again?" he asked.
