30 year old Fran Gonzalez last played for Hong Kong side Lee Man FC. The Cordoba-born Fran started youth career at Seneca CF before joining the Real Madrid Academy.
The Spaniard started his professional career in the 2008/09 season with UD Almería B in the Tercera División. In the following seasons, he played for Lucena CF (two stints), Córdoba CF B, Deportivo la Coruña B and Real Zaragoza B in Segunda División B.

Head coach Kibu Vicuña initiated the signing after discussing with the Mohun Bagan management.
Fran Gonzalez said, “After many years in club football, I am excited to play in India and I will do so with the same determination that I have always had. I had the opportunity to talk to management of Mohun Bagan and everyone has left a great impression on me. Everything was finalized a little while ago. I have heard that there are couple of other Spanish players and I hope to leave my mark too. Mohun Bagan is a great and very prestigious club with a great history. From what I have seen, they are biggest in India and I am excited for the new challenge.”
Fran Gonzalez is soon expected to join the clubs pre-season training.
