Lastborn Mawphniang is all set to join Gokulam Kerala FC. A source close to the development confirmed that he has signed a 2-year deal with the club and it will be officially announced very soon.

Lastborn started his football career at the Bengaluru FC U-18s. In 2020 he was roped in by Bengaluru FC. He was a vital member of the Bengaluru FC reserve squad and played five matches in the RF development league, scoring four goals.

Lastborn also represented his team at the Next Gen Cup in the UK. His performances in the RF Development League and Next Gen Cup caught the attention of the GKFC scouts and the club have brought him in.

Lastborn mainly plays as a right-back, but can also play as a left-back and right-winger. His speed and agility make him stand out. He also has brilliant defensive skills, but he has to work a lot on his final deliveries and passes. However, he is surely one for the future
