East Bengal have roped in former Mohun Bagan Supergiant defender Hector Yuste for the upcoming season, further bolstering their squad for the campaign.

The Spaniard is the 6th and final foreigner for the Kolkata club, which has made some excellent acquisitions this season.

Hector Yuste joins East Bengal

Hector Yuste, who played for the Mariners and helped them to win the ISL shield, has moved across to their arch-rivals East Bengal. The Supergiants didn't want to renew Yuste's contract, which prompted East Bengal to sweep in for the veteran.

Yuste is expected to be part of the ongoing Durand Cup and will be in contention to feature for the Red and Gold brigade in their next match. The 36-year-old is an experienced player and represented clubs such as Mallorca, Apollon Limassol and Granada.

"I am very happy to be part of the Emami East Bengal family. The enthusiasm and ambition shown by the club are the main reasons why I have decided to return to Kolkata! It's a special feeling to represent a historic club that has so many passionate and energetic supporters. I hope we can achieve our desired goals and experience many moments of glory together," Yuste told East Bengal after joining.

Mohun Bagan extend Petratos contract

Dimitri Petratos has signed a two-year contract extension at Mohun Bagan. The Australian forward was excellent last season. He scored 11 goals and made 7 assists for the Green and Maroon and has been offered a new deal by the club. Petratos will be looking forward to replicating his last season's heroics as Mohun Bagan venture forward in the ISL and AFC Champions League 2.
