Namibian Quinton Jacobs joins Mohun Bagan AC

The Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan AC yesterday signed former Namibia captain Quinton Norman Jacobs for the remainder of the 2012/13 season in place of Nigerian Cyprian Stanley Okoroigwe, who has been released by the green-and-maroon.

34 year old season Quinton Jacobs had started the season with Salgaocar FC but was released recently as the club was not happy with his performances.

Quinton had come to play in India following his national teams international friendly in New Delhi against India in September 2010 as newly founded United Sikkim FC signed him. He led the Baichung Bhutia owned club into the I-League last and then earned a move to Salgaocar's.

Now Mohun Bagan hope the experienced Jacobs will add creativity to a weak midfield, also creating chances for the strikers.

Also joining the Mariners is former East Bengal midfielder Susanth Mathew, who was released recently by the red-and-gold.
