“I feel very happy about signing my first professional contract! It’s something I’ve been waiting for for many years and I’ve worked hard for it. I would like to thank my family for their support all these years and also my coaches for the knowledge they provided me. My goal is to work more and more every day to improve and develop as a football player in order to help the team as much as I can».
