Pro deal for Luther Munakandafa

[Oldstripy]

Under 19s forward Luther Munakandafa has today signed a professional contract at Meadow Lane.

The 18-year-old joined our youth set-up last summer and immediately made his mark, earning himself the opportunity to train regularly with the first team throughout the 2021-22 campaign.

His performances in those sessions, coupled with his form for the Under 19s, impressed our first-team coaching staff and our board of directors are delighted to offer him the chance to go pro.

A statement reads: “As evidenced by our determination to continue the operation of our academy despite the loss of grant funding last summer, we, like our supporters, are very keen to see the club continue to develop players through the age groups and into the first team.

“Luther has demonstrated exceptional talent and application in his time at the club so far and sets the benchmark for other young players at the club.

“We congratulate him on this achievement and look forward to watching him progress further in 2022-23.”

Listened to the interview hopefully he will apply himself and develop into a decent player.

I hope Luther Munakandafa v1.0 is even better and that we get to see him push for first team footie in the coming season.

Because that is what fans/media do😋

[Magpies1959]

Love his attitude, and great to see he realises that you need hard work to go with skill. Let's hope that lot a cross the river have let a good one go.

He doesn't HAVE to be, but what is wrong with making a complimentary comparison between him and a guy who came through our youth system and is now giving a good account of himself in the EFL?
