Career

After becoming Champions, he joined Milan Samity in 2006 and played in Calcutta Football League 1st Division B group. Then he joined George Telegraph S.C. where he played for a couple of seasons.

Where they finished runners up, losing to Goa in tie-breaker. [1]

Mohun Bagan

Salgaocar

Salgaocar won the Federation Cup after 14 years. He was the only Bengali player in that team. The last time when Salgaocar won the Federation Cup, Shabbir Ali was the only Bengali player in their team. Incidentally, in the year 1987, Salgaocar defeated East Bengal 2-1 to lift the title whereas in 2011 they defeated the same team 3-1 to win the 2011 Indian Federation Cup.
