Striker Tudu, and has been a consistent performer for the Services team with 10 goals to his name, which helped the Services team defend the 2016 Santosh Trophy. He was also an integral part of the Army XI, which plays in the Kolkata League, before his transfer to the Dynamos.

“It is a matter of immense pride for me to play for the Delhi Dynamos. I have always wanted to be part of the ISL but never thought that I would get an opportunity like this. I thank my team for providing me with this great opportunity. I have followed the team closely and am happy to be playing for them. I hope that I perform to the best of my abilities, push myself beyond my limits and help the team win its maiden ISL title,” stated the 25-year-old striker from Jamshedpur.

Rupert made his senior debut for Shillong Lajong in 2015, where he rose up the ranks from the youth squad. His impressive performance in the youth tournaments since 2010 was the reason for his debut for the senior team. The midfielder is sighted to be an exciting young talent, and could prove to be one of the best Indian signings for the Dynamos this year.
