Club career
He started his football career in Toorak with the League Club as a 19-year-old and played for Suva for 13 years winning the Fiji FACT, Battle of the Giants and National Football League titles with the team in the mid-1990s.
International career
Lal has assisted in multiple national team campaigns and played the head coach role for top Fiji club Ba FC in the past, but having full responsibility of a national youth team has been a totally new experience. Lal plans to continue his development as a coach and pick up his OFC A Licence as his next project, but that personal goal has been put on hold while he focuses all his energy on his young side's success at the OFC U-17 Championship.[1]
