Former Liverpool striker Florent Sinama Pongolle has given relegated Chainat a huge lift by committing to two more years with the club as they bid to get back into the Premier League of Thailand (PLT) at the first time of asking.
The Frenchman's time with the Hornbills has been hugely successful and he scored 12 times after arriving in Thailand in July of this year. Unfortunately, his goals weren't enough to save Chainat from relegation. The decision to end the season early due to the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej denied Sinama Pongolle's side the opportunity to lift themselves out of the bottom three in the final three games.
