Bimal Gharti Magar popularly known as BG10 hailing from the Himalayan nation of Nepal is all set to ply his trade in India as Mohun Bagan signed the young playmaker for the remaining of the I league 2017-18 season.
The rise of Bimal Gharti Magar is no less than a fairytale, the youngest ever player to debut for Nepal national team at the age of just 14 and a year later the youngest scorer for Nepal at the age of just 15 with a crucial goal against Pakistan at the SAFF Championship.
BG10 is a product of ANFA academy and has led Nepal across various youth level international competitions of SAFF and AFC apart from being a regular Nepal International.
In 2014, Bimal Gharti Magar had an opportunity to train with Anderlecht youth team and subsequently managed to put pen to paper to a 1 year deal with the famed Belgian club's youth program and had a successful stint.
Between 2013 and 2016 Bimal had several short stints with clubs like FC Twente, RSC Anderlecht and KSC Lokeren.
He last represented Three Stars Club of Nepal before joining Mohun Bagan who were looking to bolster their squad and replace Haitian playmaker Sony Norder.
Known for his darting runs and inward-cuts paired with an eye for goal with his lethal left foot, it would be interesting to see how he fits into Mohun Bagan Coach Shankarlal Chakraborty's scheme of things.
Mohun Bagan sits in the fourth position in the league table with 17 points in 11 games, a crucial 8 points behind leaders Minerva Punjab FC.
Mohun Bagan's 4 out of the 5 remaining games are away fixture and Bimal Gharti Magar's individual brilliance might be the X-factor Mohun Bagan hoping for should there be any turn of the tables.
