ATK have bolstered their squad with the signings of brothers Soosairaj and Micheal Regin. 24 year old Soosairaj has been signed from Jamshedpur FC for a transfer fee of 90 lakhs while Micheal Regin joins the big spending Kolkata side on a free transfer.
Despite spending millions, 2 time champions ATK have failed to make the playoffs for the last 2 seasons. To correct that, they have made huge improvements to their squad early. They have already signed Jobby Justin and Salam Ranjan Singh from East Bengal and have now added two more versatile players to their squad.
Soosairaj is one of the best midfielders in the country so it's no surprise that ATK have spent big to sign him. Soosairaj has been handed a 3 year contract worth 1.2 crores per season along with a 20 lakh sign on bonus. The midfielder was a crucial part of Jamshedpur's squad last season, and despite playing out of position as a left winger, he still managed to score 4 goals while also wowing the packed Furnace with his exquisite skills. He is a welcome addition to any side, and he will surely boost ATK's chances of securing a playoff spot next season.
Meanwhile, the lesser known brother Micheal Regin also joins ATK on a one year deal. Micheal Regin played in 8 games in Chennai City's title winning campaign last season and the midfielder impressed whenever he was on the pitch. ATK desperately need some depth in the midfield and Regin will definitely provide that and more.
