Ralte provides Pune FC coach Derrick Perreira an additional option in defence apart from already having experienced campaigners in Anas Edathodika, Chika Wali and Caitano Costa.
“We are happy to have Zohmingliana in our midst. His hard work caught our eye and moreover Pune FC needed a player in the position. I wish him all the best,” said Pune FC head of operations, Chirag Tanna, in a statement.
The defender flew to Pune on Saturday to join the squad. Though the youngest defender in the side, Ralte boasts of regular experience at the highest level and has featured in two I-League seasons apart from three Fed Cups. In 2009-10, Ralte was a part of the squad that played the Federation Cup final in Guwahati.
