India's Singh set for Melbourne Heart trial

India international Gouramangi Singh has been invited to trial with new A-League club Melbourne Heart.

The 24-year old defender will link up with the Heart in June and head coach John van 't Schip is excited about seeing what he has to offer.

"Indian football is very much an unknown quantity, but I am confident Gouramangi has the potential to make an impression here in Melbourne," he said.

"Despite his age, he is already an accomplished international footballer, having played in a number of important matches for India, including World Cup qualifiers.

"The club will have a close look at his ability, and determine whether he is both capable of making the transition to the Hyundai A-League and playing the football we want to play."

Singh has represented India on 21 occasions and was Churchill Brothers SC 'Best Defender' last season as they scooped the I-League title.
