PETALING JAYA: Rising hockey player Eswaran George is fitting in just right with Maybank this season in the Malaysian Hockey League (MHL) but not in a familiar position.

The former forward for Matador in the league last season is now holding a defensive role with Maybank as a rightback, a decision made by head coach Iman Gobinathan.
