Mohali, Jul 20 (PTI) Punjab FC on Thursday announced the signing of three young players, forward Samuel James Kynshi, midfielder Kingslee Fernandes and defender Nitesh Darjee, ahead of their maiden appearance in the Indian Super League.
Punjab FC is the first I-League club to get a promotion into top-tier ISL competition.
