Chris Dagnall heads for India

Chris Dagnall rejects the offer of a new contract from Leyton Orient to sign for the Kerala Blasters in India.

Chris Dagnall has decided to continue his playing career with Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters.

The 29-year-old had been offered a new contract by manager Ian Hendon to remain at Leyton Orient.

However, having weighed up his options, the striker has opted to ply his trade in the growing Asian league.

"I have enjoyed my 18 months with the club and I have some great memories over the course of that period," he told Orient's official website.

"I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the fans for their support they have given to me and the club during my time here. They were very welcoming from the minute I joined and I can only thank them for that.

"This will be a new challenge for me over in India and a completely new environment, country and culture, but one I look forward to."

In total, Liverpool-born Dagnall scored 20 goals in 62 outings for Orient.
