Lalrindika Returns to East Bengal on Three-Year Deal

Ray Sportz Web Desk: Emami East Bengal FC has officially signed Indian international forward Edmund Lalrindika from Inter Kashi FC on a three-year contract. The 26-year-old will don the iconic number 10 jersey, marking his return to the club after five years.
Lalrindika, who made an impressive debut for East Bengal in the 2019-20 I-League season, had his initial stint cut short by injury. He now returns with more experience and firepower, having scored 4 goals and provided 6 assists in 24 matches for Inter Kashi during the 2024–25 season.
Club Head of Football Thangboi Singto hailed the signing as a “massive boost,” emphasizing Edmund’s “versatility and familiarity with East Bengal’s ethos.”
Head Coach Oscar Bruzon echoed the enthusiasm, highlighting Lalrindika’s recent national team call-up and saying, “He is growing in stature and can make a real difference.”
Originally from Mizoram and a product of the AIFF Elite Academy, Lalrindika has represented India at multiple youth levels and made his senior team debut against Kuwait last month.
In his own words, an emotional Edmund said, “I’ve always dreamed of returning to East Bengal. Now that I’m back, I believe I have some unfinished business here.”
His signing marks a strong statement of intent for East Bengal as they gear up for the new season.
