Market Update
The various Grilled-affiliated clubs have certainly been active on the transfer scene, with Rancher Rabbits alumni being particularly in demand second-hand, so it seems. 19 year-old Lee How Teck recently moved from Chile's Sport Juridico F.K to Hungarian sixth divisioners Berettyóújfalui SE for a round S$3 million, and winger Yang Hui Ming has completed his third transfer days before turning eighteen, with German club Norwegian Glühbirnen willing to lay out S$1.25 million.
As for more recent graduates, Jai Holkar has moved on from Italy's FC Juak after three weeks, to Polish Division Seven side Kolejarz Łódź. Alex Duffy too found a new employer after what amounted to be a ten-day internship at Arsenal School City, in which he made one appearance; he has already scored on his debut for Dutch Division Six club zwolsche boys, against De Rood-Witte Boys in a friendly.
It was hardly universal good news, that said, with prospective Rabbits defender RR Kannan having decided to put an end to his pro dreams, following poor feedback in several local trials. The same goes for the Chicken Wings' Kwan Hock Hock and Lim Fu Chu, who just didn't have that extra spice needed to make it their career. The Busy Bees' Mohd Wardun bin Emran has however not given up yet, and is currently tapping all the networks he can. "I'm not sure what else I would want to do otherwise."
