Abdillah At Attention
Farmer Bunnies' first signing of the new season was Shining Lights youth player
Abdillah Abdul Wahab, who fetched S$318000 for Grilled Birds' S-League rivals. Bunnies had to overcome stiff competition for his services from Swiss Division Six club Brösmeli-Kickers, but eventually won the 17 year-old to their service.
Brösmeli-Kickers were only the most persistent of a considerable host of interested sides, which included Talias FC (English Division Six), Rynkeby FC (Danish Division Six), Pannon Legio (Hungarian Division Six), F.C. Pietrenii (Romanian Division Seven), Söråkers IF (Swedish Division Five) and Fortran 77 (Turkish Division Six).

Elias van Dal felt that this was simply a reflection of Abdillah's obvious potential. "His basics are up there." van Dal said of his newest recruit. "The deal was very good value for us, given how much better he can get."
