Sultan Huang
The Birds may have a Yellow Emperor in
Hwang Teck Fu, but Grilled International now too possess a to-be Sultan in Huang Changjun - or possessed, that is. The 17 year-old defender will play with Hattrick Anniversary League side Sultanes del gol, though the relocation won't take long, seeing as the Sultanes are based barely fifty kilometres away in Tutong.
Twice denied, first by Division Two club Liverpool F.C.*** and then FC De Aziatische Kiekens, Huang had considered quitting the sport - before Busy Bees scout Daud bin Radiman gave him a go. Huang would acquit himself well enough, and lasted longer than most in International's academy, building himself some reputation as a solid defender with decent distribution and range.
It would actually be the last chance saloon for many other youngsters, sadly, as temporary contracts ran out across the Grilled clubs. Amongst these were Wee Chao Jing for the Birds, DeAndre Woo, Chan Wan Leong, Bryan Reynolds and Gan Puay Chu for the Buns, and Bees pal Ageng Lutfi from International.
"I'm just happy for Huang." would-be goalkeeper Lufti said. "He always had the discipline to make it."
