Great story here with a youngster stepping up from the VMSL ranks to earn a pro contract in the CPL. He is officially the youngest player signed in the league, and made his debut Wednesday night.
Ahmed was one of the initial players on our Rino's Tigers team and was only 14 years old during that rough first season in premier. He played a part in getting promoted back to premier the following season, and then winning the Imperial Cup last year. Those experiences lead to him being an absolute stalwart in our midfield this season, and while it sucks for us to lose him at a critical time with Provincial Semifinals looming, we are overjoyed to see him take the next step in his footballing career!
