NEW DELHI: Sporting Clube de Portugal, popularly known as Sporting Lisbon football club, on Thursday signed India striker Sunil Chhetri to play for its reserve team, reported the website of The Times of India.

"I don't know what I will achieve there but I will work hard as I can. I will work hard to the extent that I don't have to regret anything later in life," said Chhetri at a media conference.


Chhetri earlier had appeared for trials at Coventry, Queens Park Rangers, and Glasgow Rangers without much success.


Earlier, All India Football Federation sources said that Sporting Lisbon is planning to launch several development programmes in India, and Chhetri will be a part of those activities as well.
