Haitian forward Sony Norde, who played for Mumbai City FC in the Indian Super League last year, will play for Mohun Bagan in the I-League this season.

Announcing that its I-League winning Haitian forward has signed the contract for a fourth successive season, Mohun Bagan said Norde would join the team on October 1. The Haiti international will be seen in a number 10 jersey.

“Norde has requested for a change in his jersey number from 16 to 10. We have decided to keep his request and this year the Haitian talisman will don the jersey No. 10,” Mohun Bagan stated.

Mohun Bagan had already roped in Australian defensive midfielder Diogo Ferreira and Cameroonian forward Aser Pierrick Dipanda Dicka for the coming I-League that will run parallel with the ISL.

Norde’s former team-mate Katsumi Yusa, on the other hand, will be seen in the rival East Bengal camp.
