Ye Yes To Top One
Solid 18 year-old forward Ye Kangdong left Grilled Birds for Israeli Division Seven club top 1 for a S$26 000 fee, spurning offers from such diverse clubs as fc zuid limburg (Dutch Division Seven), walla100 (Israeli Division Six), SV delifenerli (German Division Ten), kerpa69 (Cyprus Division Four), MoliWorld (Italian Division Ten), Vesterbrogade FC (Danish Division Eight) and HAiM HaNuKeV 3 (Israeli Division Six).
When questioned over picking a team in a lower division than some of his other suitors, the well-built Ye replied that he wished to be able to make his mark immediately, which might not have been possible with bigger clubs. A representative from his new club praised his work ethic, which was observed to be above average. "Ye bothers to track back and isn't exhausted after an hour," the junior coach said. "With more instruction, he will make it big here."
