\"edinhoNew Delhi:<\/strong> Life indeed has come full circle for Indian football. Years after Baichung Bhutia made the move across two continents to join an England-based club; EdonJ\u00faniorViegasdo Amaral (popularly known as EdinhoJ\u00fanior) a striker from the former Premier League Champions Blackburn Rovers, will be donning the red of Shillong Lajong Football Club and plying his trade in the Indian I-League.\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edinho will be joining the Shillong-based club on a short-term loan beginning February 16, 2013. He is a Portuguese national of Brazilian origin who moved to Blackburn Rovers from Olhanense.  The 18 year old plays centre-forward and is the son of a former Brazilian international footballer, Edon do AmaralNeto.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The signing of Edinho will add impetus to ShillongLajong\u2019s campaign for the remainder of the 2012-13 season. It will add an edge to the club\u2019s striking options. Lajong\u2019s story and place in Indian football is truly historic. It became the first club from North-East India to have qualified for the I-League, India\u2019s premier football league, and have been performing admirably well since then amongst the big boys of Indian football.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the forefront of the development of football in the country, ShillongLajong recently became the first-ever Indian football club to have had a strategic stake taken by Anglian Holdings. The Meghalaya-based club boasts of an impressive youth system as well. With an eye to aid in the development of Indian football, Anglian Holdings has also invested in Danish 1st Division Club FC Vestsjaelland to provide a platform for fledgling Indian football talent to ply their trade in Europe. Much in the same vein, India-based V H Group, took charge at former Premier League Champions Blackburn Rovers to announce the arrival of the Indian football story on the world stage. The loan move for Edinho signals a consolidated effort to provide a powerful push for the sport in India.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Commenting on this development BalajiRao, Managing Director of Venky\u2019s, says \u201cWe are pleased to be associated with ShillongLajong FC through the loan of young Edinho. We look forward to opportunities to help develop our players and football in India through strategic partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Larsing Ming Sawyan, General Secretary ShillongLajong Football Club, added \u201cWe are thankful to Blackburn Rovers for providing us with a player of Edinho\u2019s quality. He will be an incisive edge to Lajong\u2019s forward line and will definitely add to the quality of the game on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DhruvRatra, CEO-Sports & Marketing Anglian Holdings, summarized the deal by saying \u201cThis exchange of talent \u2013 a first of its kind in Indian football – will set a precedent for future exchanges of knowledge and information which in turn will help drive the game of football forward in India. Edinho is an exciting young player and Indian fans will enjoy his exploits on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
