SC East Bengal on Tuesday confirmed the signing of former Perth Glory star defender and Australian centre-back Tomislav Mrcela for the upcoming Indian Super League 2021-22 season.Tomislav is SC East Bengal head coach Manuel 'Manolo' Diaz's second foreign signing. Standing 6-foot 4 inches tall, Tomislav had joined Perth Glory in 2018 on a two-year contract. During his stay at the A-League club, he won the A-League premiership and contributed massively to the team's success."I'm happy to have signed for SC East Bengal, and I have got good feedback about the club. I have friends who have played in India and also know a thing or two about the club, and they tell me how big it is in this part of the world," said Tomislav, after putting pen-to-paper for the Red-and-Gold Brigade."I will look to add experience at the heart of the defence and take care of the locker room as well. The atmosphere within the team is very important and I will leave no stone unturned in doing what needs to be done for the team's benefit. I also know how passionate the fans are here and it's unfortunate that they can't be in the stands cheering us. We play for them and we will do everything we can to make them happy. I can't wait to start the season," he added.Perth-born Tomislav grew up in Croatia, joining the youth academy of Dalmatian side RNK Split in 2001. He left the city of Split after spending eight years at RNK Split to join Jadran Kastel, the third division side in Croatia at the time. He later signed for NK Primorac 1929 in 2010 and rose to prominence at NK Imotski, where he was part of the starting XI in no time despite being only 20 years old. A string of consistent performances across two seasons for NK Imotski and NK Mosor earned him a contract at top division side NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac in 2013, from where he moved to Zagreb side NK Lokomotiva, riding his stellar displays at the heart of the defence.Tomislav will add solidity and experience at the back for SC East Bengal. Earlier, SC East Bengal appointed former Real Madrid Castilla boss Manuel 'Manolo' Diaz as the new head coach for the ISL 2021-22 season.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
