"Iain is a highly motivated athlete and we are sure that he will get back to his previous best and play an important role for us this season."

Hume said: "It wasn't a very tough decision to make, to return to the ISL and join FC Pune City if I'm honest.

"From the other side, I've always admired the top-class facilities at the training ground and the stadium and the way the club is professionally run.'
