Sutton United sign Anwaruddin

Former West Ham defender Anwaruddin has signed for Conference South side Sutton United after mutually terminating his contract at Barnet.

The 30-year-old is one of few British-Asians plying his trade in the English leagues and although he had the opportunity to represent Bangladesh, he hasn’t made up his mind yet.

A non-sense centre-back, he cemented his place at Barnet and even become the player-coach at one point but due to a falling out with the management he agreed to terminate his contract and seek greener pastures elsewhere.

He has since then dropped down the leagues quite a bit and has agreed to sign for Sutton United, who play in the Conference South division.

Speaking to reporters, the former Bristol Rovers man said that he had been fascinated by how the club played and was quite impressed with the facilities they had to offer.

“I was impressed by Sutton in that game, and they seemed a good bunch of lads. I know (assistant manager) Alan Payne, and everyone I’ve spoken to has only got good things to say about him and (manager) Paul Doswell, and how professional the set up is.”

“I hear stories from some people about some things at non-league clubs not being as professional as the background I’ve come from, but the training facilities we’ve got are unbelievable, Paul’s looking to do something and move the club forward, and I’m delighted
to be involved in something like that and looking forward to getting back playing again,” he said.

Although he is a proven talent, it remains to be seen if Anwaruddin is able to establish himself as a first-choice starter at the Borough Sports Ground and perhaps earn an extension to his current contract.
