SHAH ALAM, Dec 15 — Selangor FC are slowly but surely strengthening their Super League side ahead of the new Malaysia League (M-League) season, which begins next February.
Selangor FC, in a statement today, confirmed their third signing of the season after inking a deal with Setapak-born leftback R Dinesh, who had spent four seasons with Pahang.
The Red Giants had, last week, signed up winger Shahrel Fikri Md Fauzi from Perak and German defender Tim Heubach.
Selangor FC technical director Michael Feichtenbeiner said that Dinesh was one of the players being considered for the leftback position, which has been left vacant following the release of 29-year-old K Prabakaran at the end of last season.
“Dinesh is still young but already has so much experience playing in the Super League with Pahang. I am confident he can help Selangor FC as either a leftback of left winger because he possesses so much natural talent. We are also thankful to have another leftback option in Zikri Khalili,” he said.
Dinesh first made his name when he helped the national Under-16 squad, under coach S Balachandran, win the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Under-16 Championship in Myanmar in 2013.
The 22-year-old Dinesh said he was excited to join the Red Giants and has vowed to do his best to strengthen the team as well as learn as much as he can from his new teammates and coaches.
