Salgaocar SC sign striker Ángel Guirado Aldeguer

The Spanish-Filipino striker Ángel Guirado Aldeguer has been signed by Goan giants Salgaocar SC on a one year contract for the 2012/13 season. The signing of Guirado comes only days after Salgaocar's signed Australian striker Sean Rooney .

27 year old Málaga-born Philippines international striker Guirado was in the youth team of Málaga CF before playing for numerous Spanish lower division clubs like CE Mataró, Córdoba CF and Atlético Madrid B before joining Deportivo de La Coruña but again only played for their reserves before being loaned to UD Vecindario and CD Lugo. Thereafter he played for Levante B, Santa Eulalia, Estepona, El Palo and CD Ronda before spending the last season at Global FC in the Philippines.

Coach Karim said about his latest signing, "Ángel is a tall player with good physical presence and competent skills; he will give me lot of options as a striker."

Salgaocar SC let a lot of their star players, who were involved in winning the 2010/11 I-League title, leave over the summer and coach Karim Bencharifa mainly signing talented youngsters. Now the addition of Guirado and Rooney to the roaster adds firepower upfront for the Goans.

Surely a lot would be expected from the 190 cms tall striker, especially goals.

With the signing of Guirado the club is releasing another striker in Nigerian Abdullah Hamza Amaba, who had only been signed in the summer from HAL SC but was not found fit for the ambitions of the Goan club.
