Brandon Fernandes on his way to make a mark in world soccer on behalf of Indians.

          The 19 years old Indian sensation Brandon Fernandes got a call from attending a two weeks trial from English Premier League side Reading FC through an UK based management company, Kemp Thornton. The teenage sensation is said to have been on the radar of several EPL clubs since he impressed scouts with his skills 4 years ago in the Manchester United Soccer Skills competition. He has completed his medical test on yesterday, we have to wait for few more days for the result then it would be transparent if he gets an opportunity for training with them or not.

             This kid has already participated for India in every age groups yet. He is the son of Jaju Fernandes, a former executive committee member of the Goa Football Association who is quite excited now, he told that he had a dream that one day his son will take part in the highest level of European competitions & that comes true now, he quoted he is not bothered about the result of the trial, just it worths a lot for him that his son got an opportunity of having train in Reading FC.

            In the age of sixteen only Brandon left for Cape Town, South Africa to join ASD, where he improved his skills under the appropriate guidance of technical director Douglas Williams. Brandon has further benefitted from the pastoral involvement of ASD’s partner charity ‘Hope Academy’, who have guided Fernandes in the necessary skills required to make a successful transition into the professional game.
            It has created quite a buzz in football circles in South Asia and the one most excited remains ASD director Mike Steptoe, who, two years ago, was randomly criticised for doing the scouting in cricket-crazy India.
             But whether the Performance of  Readinf Fc is concern it has to be told that Brian McDermott’s side is going to be relegated this year once again with no league wins from six matches, since being promoted to the English Premier League (EPL), Reading FC have been far from impressive.
           ASD Director Mike Steptoe said on Monday that he has no doubts that Brandon is going to impact in European circle, he added Brandon is paving the way and putting Indian soccer rightfully on the sporting map of this planet.
