[God is an Englishman]

he is 22, and he also played for Modbury jets.

Fall from Grace?

Played for Hull City (youth i am guessing) and now at only age 23 isnt playing anymore. Injuries?

Also how do you become a professional player at 10 years of age, when FIFA states you have to be a school leaving age in that country to be deemed a professional?
