Nanthawat can fit in as a striker or down the flanks and has started twice, plus 2 more substitute appearances, in 2020. The Thai U23 looked lively on the ball and thanks to Rayong&#8217;s limited squad size and attacking options, he can expect to have plenty of game time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Signing &#8211; Tossaporn Srirueng\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Signed from Trat FC at the beginning of the season, Tossaporn Srirueng is a Thai League veteran with an abundance of experience for clubs such as Pattaya United, Army United and BEC Tero Sasana. Still just 29, Tossaporn is a great shot-stopping style of keeper and he&#8217;ll have to be on his toes as Rayong FC fight to avoid relegation. Outthilath Nammakhoth&#8217;s nightmarish performance against Muangthong United (making 3 horrible mistakes which cost his side the game) only highlights the importance of having a reliable, Thai League proven, goalkeeper.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team Leader &#8211; Anuchit Ngoenbokkhol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wearing the captains&#8217; armband for Rayong FC is all-action midfielder Anuchit Ngoenbokkhol.
