Seikhohao Tuboi renews contract with Shillong Lajong FC

I-League side Shillong Lajong FC today announced that Seikhohao Tuboi has extended his contract with the club for the upcoming 2013/14 I-League season.

The Manipuri striker, who joined Shillong Lajong in the 2008/09 season, has inked a new deal to commit his future to the North-East I-League Club, Shillong Lajong FC.

Tuboi, who has been nursing an injury which he suffered in the 2011/12 season, has been a prolific scorer in front of goal for the Reds, and has always been a fans favourite. Always alert in front of goal, Tuboi played a stellar role in Lajong’s 2008/09 I-League 2nd Division campaign and was instrumental in guiding Shillong Lajong FC to the I-League in 2009/10. It was also his unforgettable goal scoring heroics (including the historic ‘bicycle kick’ goal against Dempo), which saw Shillong Lajong reach the finals of the Federation Cup in 2009, a moment which would always be etched forever in the fans’ memory.

His development though, was cut short by a prolonged injury, which saw him sitting out the whole 2012/13 season.

However, a well structured and intensive rehabilitation program through the Club’s medical staff has ensured that the 24 year old Tuboi has regained full fitness and will be a part of the team in the upcoming season.

Commenting on the new deal with the Club, Tuboi reiterated his eagerness to don the colours of the Club once again and said, “I cannot wait to get back on the field and start scoring goals again.”

Tuboi has started training with the first team, and his addition will certainly add depth to the Lajong FC forward line.
