Strengthening the team ahead of the I-League, North Eastern football team Shillong Lajong FC has signed another Nigerian footballer Ebi Sukore, who last played for Mumbai FC, club officials said in Shillong on Monday.

The 29-year-old midfielder will be donning the Lajong jersey for this year's Federation Cup and I-League for an undisclosed fee, the officials said.
