EB sign Croatian defender Franjo

Kolkata, Sep 15: Croatian U-21 national team stopper Franjo Prce on Wednesday signed up for SC East Bengal, making him red and gold brigade’s third foreign recruit.
Prce, who has played a match for Lazio’s senior team, has joined East bengal from Croatian club NK Slaven Belupo. Slovenian midfielder Amir Derviševic and Tomislav Mrcela are the two overseas recruits.
At Lazio, Prce shared the locker room with the likes of former Germany striker Miroslav Klose and Ciro Immobile who earlier this year helped Italy win the European Championships. Inter Milan centre-back Stefan de Vrij was also with Lazio during that time as was Italy’s Antonio Candreva and Lucas Biglia of Argentina. (PTI)
