Tung's Italian Swing
18 year-old Rancher Rabbits graduate Tung Kwang Yao left for Italian sixth divisioners sultansOFswing, who are planning for the future after not having the easiest of times in VI.177. Long-serving head coach Piercarlo Crimi recruited Tung as the first of a batch of ten youngsters on free transfers, apparently in an effort to reformat his squad after releasing six players to Hong Kong III.14 club, SUM SIR Team just yesterday.
Tung as known as an unusually versatile player during his time at the Rabbits, although he would eventually make wingback his best position. A gift for dead balls further increased his value to the team, and only his relatively advanced age prevented him from being feted as a bona-fide star. "Kwang Yao started late, but he caught up fast at the academy." scout Yip De Da said. "Who's to say that he can't continue developing at this rate?"
