Surreal For Soon
Grilled International's 17 year-old trainee fullback Soon Jian Tian would be picked up on a free transfer by Ethiopian II.1 side SurReal Fc this day, alongside Benjamim Silva Cerqueira of former Botswana Cup winners SRN Listige Leoparden. Hailed as an all-around player, Soon possesses pace, maturity and fair attacking instinct - which almost seems the bare minimum to get a senior contract these days.
Other than trophy potential - with SurReal Fc already capturing their domestic Consolation Cup - Soon liked their track record of developing youngsters, with Koppány Zimmermann and Castor Wanyancha for example recently going for improved eight-figure sums, after short stays at the club. "It's a privilege to be given a shot." he expressed. "I won't let everyone down."
