Ex-Blackpool, Carlisle United and Watford figure joins Indian side as he makes his latest move

The 33-year-old was with the Seasiders between 2015 and 2017, during which time he suffered back-to-back relegations before captaining the club in a League Two play-off final victory over Exeter City at Wembley.

Aldred, who has also been on the books of the likes of Carlisle United, Watford and Accrington Stanley, has spent the last five years with A-League outfit Brisbane Roar.

Following the conclusion of his contract with the Australian side, the centre back has now signed a deal to start a new chapter in India with Mohun Bagan Super Giant.

The Kolkata club are the reigning Indian Super League Shield champions after topping the league last season, but were runners up to Mumbai City in the play-off final.

Speaking to the Blackpool Gazette in May, Aldred discussed whether he would ever consider a return to the EFL.

"You can never say never in football, but it’d have to be the right club,” he stated.

"I know what the Football League is like now and there’s various teams, but it’d come down to logistics. At 33 people would say I’m senior now, but I’ve still got good years ahead of me. I feel great, I’ve played every game for the last two years.

"We’ll see what comes up, but you never know.”
