The champions of the inaugural edition of Indian Super League, Atletico de Kolkata, on Thursday signed three more international players in Scotland's Stephen Paul Pearson and the Spanish duo of Daniel 'Dani' Mallo Castro and Pablo Jose Gallardo for the upcoming season.
While Stephen Paul Pearson commonly known as 'Pearo', is a midfielder who plays for Motherwell FC, Daniel 'Dani' Mallo Castro plays for Albacete Balompie as goalkeeper and Pablo Jose Gallardo Zurera currently plays for Dreams Metro Gallery FC as centre back.
After the announcement of signing dynamic Indian players and retaining four international recruits for this season, these three more international footballers will add to the composition and strength of the team.
"While developing the nucleus of the team this year the team management has rightly retained some seasoned performers and now invested on three exciting talents.
"We are slowly building the side with the right combinations. While Pearson had tasted success in ISL earlier, it will be new turf for Dani and Pablo and I am sure their talent will be appreciated by the ATK fans," said Jose Molina, head coach of Atletico de Kolkata.
