Mumbai FC rope in custodian Laxmikant Kattimani
Mumbai, December 21: Mumbai FC which is the process of rebuilding their squad for the new I-League season has added Laxmikant Kattimani, a top-level goalkeeper to their roster. The 27-year-old Goan-born custodian comes to the Mumbai team with loads of experience and would certainly add plenty of depth, especially at the back to the Mumbai outfit.
The Goan comes with a plenty of experience as was in-charge of tending the citadel for Dempo SC in the I-League since 2008. He also wore the goalkeeper’s gloves for FC Goa under the guidance of Brazilian legend Zico during the Indian Super League.
The tally well-built goalkeeper also has major honours under his belt, being part of the I-League winning Dempo squad in 2009-10 and 2011-12. As a youngster, Kattimani trained under Brazilian goalkeeper Rogerio Ramos and went on to represent India at both under-19 and and under-23 levels.
After signing with Mumbai, Kattimani said, “playing for Mumbai FC is an amazing opportunity for me. Santosh Kashyap is a great coach and it will be fun playing in front of the Mumbai outfit at the Cooperage ground.”
Santosh Kashyap was a happy gaffer after completing the signing, as he opined, “I am glad to have Laxmikant Kattimani on board for Mumbai. He comes with a lot of experience and is very confident in between the sticks. I have seen him play for Dempo and FC Goa and I am sure that his inclusion in the squad will benefit us in our I-League campaign.”
Mumbai FC can now look to Laxmikant to keep their goal intact and the competent custodian will immediately start training with the current squad as Mumbai continue pre-season preparations ahead of an enticing I-League season.
