This September will mark five years since Quan put the St Anthony’s High School in Majorda on the map after he was handpicked by a star-studded selection panel that included former India Captain and Arjuna Awardee Bruno Coutinho and the late great Goan wing wizard Domnic Soares at a talent hunt competition in the state.
The final round where he was selected from thousands as the lone Goan to travel to Germany was held at Don Bosco ground in Panjim. The twenty year-old Quan is happy to have signed a Professional contract for Sporting Goa and excited to be training at Don Bosco. “This is where I got the opportunity to train abroad and meet future World Cup winners such as Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Meuller, where they presented me with a Bayern Munich signed jersey,” explained Quan. “After seeing the facilities in Germany it’s easy to see why they are World beaters. The Don Bosco turf reminds me of the pristine pitches I got to play on,” added Quan.

BFC Press release-17.11.2015 - PART - 54 : Sticking true to its philosophy of investing in the future, Bengaluru FC, on Monday, announced the signing of three eighteen-year-olds in Daniel Lalhlimpuia, Nishu Kumar and Malsawmzuala on two-year deals with the club having the option to extend it by a year. The trio were part of the All India Football Federation's Youth Academy for three years and will be donning the BFC blue for the 2015-16 season. 
“We are pleased and proud in equal measure to announce the signing of these three youngsters. At Bengaluru FC, we pride ourselves in identifying and recruiting players who we feel, once given a platform and time to adapt to our training and system, can improve and become an asset to us and the national team," said coach Ashley Westwood on the new acquisitions.
While Daniel (striker) and Malsawmzuala (midfielder) hail from Manipur, wing-back Nishu comes from Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh. The three boys even featured in the two friendlies between the India under-19 side and Bengaluru FC, in Bengaluru, earlier in August. Daniel has been part of the India under-16 and under-19 AFC Cup qualifiers and even captains the national under-19 team. Westwood said he was confident that the boys would flourish and give a good account of themselves in time to come. "We are confident that these three boys have the attributes and attitude to develop and become household names in India. It's only been two years since BFC was founded, but we've handed the national team as many as 9 players across age categories, with most of them making their debuts and this is down to our philosophy and hard work. We are certain this will continue." The boys too were excited at the prospect of turning out for BFC. "I'm really happy to sign for a big club like Bengaluru FC and am waiting to be able to do everything I can to contribute to the club’s success. It's going to be an experience to play alongside the top players in the country and I'm also excited about watching the fans get behind the team," said Malsawmzuala. The additions take the count of new signings this season to 7 after Bengaluru FC secured the signatures of Kim Song-Yong, Len Doungel, Alwyn George and Salam Ranjan Singh. ------ Bengaluru Football Club, signing young defender Salam Ranjan Singh, on loan from Pune FC.

He's a good lad with a good attitude and the type of player we want at our professional club,” said Blues' Head Coach Ashley Westwood. 
Ranjan was part of the Pune FC side that won two back-to-back I-League U20 titles in 2012 and 2013. A versatile player who can fill in at full-back positions, despite his young age, Ranjan has a few I-League games under his belt with Pune FC.
The 19-year-old has traveled with the Blues to Pune, where he could be in for a look as they face his parent club in the DSK Invitational Cup. Assistant Coach Pradhyum Reddy, who will be at the helm of things for this tournament, felt that Ranjan would flourish under Westwood's guidance. “We’ve tracked Ranjan for a long time and I’ve seen him for the last five or six years while I was coaching in Pune and later with Shillong Lajong. It’s a position that needed addressing at the club and with Ashley’s experience as a centre-half and with his coaching, we can hopefully develop Ranjan into a player who can complement the national team’s back four,” said Reddy. With just one training session under his belt, Ranjan has already expressed his desire to make an appearance for the Blues. “I’m really happy to have signed with Bengaluru FC. I feel it’s the right place for me as the club have a very professional set up. It’s very different here as all the training happens with the ball at my feet and I can’t wait to start playing,” Ranjan said following the move.
