CENTRAL MIDFIELDER Joseba Beitia, who played for Mohun Bagan last season, has joined Punjab FC on a two year contract.
The Spaniard started 16 matches in the Mariners' I-League winning campaign, and scored 3 goals.
While Beitia, following last season's success, was eager to stay in India, he was primarily interested in Indian Super League teams. However, he joined Punjab FC on a multi-year contract, and the club's ambitions to join the ISL later on may have played a part in making up his mind.
