ISL 2022-23: Defender Hira Mondal leaves Bengaluru FC

Defender Hira Mondal has left Bengaluru FC after both parties decided to mutually terminate his existing contract, the Indian Super League (ISL) club announced through a social media post on Monday.

The 25-year-old defender hailing from Kolkata joined Bengaluru FC from East Bengal FC at the start of the ISL 2022-23 season. The defender was one of the standout performers in what was a rather difficult season for the Red and Gold Brigade and decided to shift base after receiving an offer from the Blues.
