Welcoming Kalu to the 126-year-old club, General Secretary Ghazal uz Zafar said, “Kalu comes with a lot of experience that will be very handy for us in the season ahead.”
“We have been keeping an eye on him, and with Southern Samity, he had a positive impact on their performance and we hope he will do even better with our club. We are glad to have him on our side and I wish him the best of luck,” he added.
Kalu began his Indian sojourn in 2007, when he joined Churchill Brothers from Nigeria-based Fadam United FC and helped the Red Machines win the I-League, IFA Shield, Durand Cup and the Goa Professional League during his stay long stay.
In 2010, Kalu switched his allegiance to Dempo SC, before joining Sporting Clube de Goa next season. Kalu stayed at Sporting Goa for four seasons and finished as the top goalscorer for the Panjim-based club twice in the I-League.
