The 21 year old is also capped at the international level, scoring once in his two appearances for the national side. “We are delighted with the addition of Sumeet to our squad. He comes with a good pedigree and will give us a different dimension in our forward line.
He is a young striker with lots of enthusiasm and desire for the game and has also stood out while playing for the Indian national team,” head coach Dave Rogers said of the player.
