Le Fondre, Hooper…the host of ex-EFL players now in the Indian Super League

The Indian Super League starts on 20th November and may be worth keeping an eye on with some familiar faces from the Football League gearing up for their new season. 

Here are some sides and players to look out for-

East Bengal

Robbie Fowler is their new manager and has wasted no time in using his contacts in England to lure some players to his new side.

Former Wigan Athletic duo Anthony Pilkington and Danny Fox have both linked up with him, along with ex-Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City winger Jacques Maghoma.

Welshman Aaron Amadi-Holloway, formerly of Oldham Athletic and Bristol Rovers, has also reunited with Fowler after playing for him at Brisbane Roar last season.
