The creative midfielder will likely partner Thitipan Puangchan in BG’s starting lineup, who he plays alongside for the Thai national team and has helped bring the best out of since his return to the War Elephants setup.
Sarach is also set to wear the number 6 for BG, which had previously been retired in honor of club legend Amnaj Kaewkiew.

It is also reported that BG Pathum is set to unveil another major signing very soon, as they ramp up their efforts to become title contenders when the 2020 campaign continues.
