Bengaluru FC on Saturday announced the signing of Australian striker Sean Rooney from Australian club Blacktown City FC on a one year deal. Rooney’s signing completes the total quota of foreigners at the club with John Johnson, Curtis Osano and John Menyongar being the other players.

Rooney is no stranger to the I-League having played a season for Goan side Salgaocar before moving back to his native country. 

Rooney said he was delighted to be coming back to India. “I’m delighted to be back in India and it seems that this club is doing everything right, so it’s good to be part of it. I did speak to a few people before signing and they all had good things to say about Bengaluru FC. Along with helping the team produce a good brand of football, the aim is obviously going to be winning trophies with them,” said the 24-year-old.
