New Delhi, June 18: Trinidad and Tobago International and World Cupper Cornell Glen will be seen in action for Shillong Lajong FC in the 2013-14 edition of the I-League. Glen has been a regular for Trinidad and Tobago since 2002, representing his Country in 66 International Matches scoring 23 Goals in the process.
Glen was a part of his Country’s Campaign in the 2006 FIFA World Cup where he appeared in all three of Trinidad & Tobago's Games at the Premier Event in Germany.
At the Club level, Glen’s impressive run with San Juan Jabloteh dominated the TT Pro League, leading the Club to two consecutive League Championships in 2002 and 2003 where he scored 12 and 26 goals respectively in the two seasons.
His exploits earned then him a place in MLS Metrostars from where he moved onto other MLS clubs including LA Galaxy, FC Dallas, The Columbus Crew, The Colorado Rapids and San Jose Earthquakes.
With this signing, Glen will be the first MLS player to play for an Indian football Club. He has played for Trinidad and Tobago's TT Pro League Club Caledonia AIA last season.
Larsing Ming, General Secretary of Shillong Lajong Football Club said: “We are pleased with the signing of an experienced player like Cornell Glen I hope that Glen will gel well with the rest of the team. We look forward to him joining us and help the team put up a competitive performance in the upcoming I-League.”
Glen, meanwhile, sounded excited at the prospect of playing in India. “Shillong Lajong FC has always been one of the well known Clubs from India and to get an opportunity to play for them would be such an honour and something that would give me immense pride -- more so if I could help the Club do well in the I-League.”
