Stefan Mols, a midfielder at Moorland School in Preston is being tipped for a successful future with Premier League side Blackburn Rovers, even though he is only 12 years old.
Stefan was born in Spain and has shown off his talent to the Blackburn Rovers side since he was snapped up by the club when he was 10 years old.
“I love playing for Blackburn, it is such an honour to wear the shirt,” said the talented youngster.
“I’ve been with Blackburn for two-and-a-half years. It is a fantastic set-up and the facilities are amazing.
“One day I’d like to be a professional and I’m working hard with the help of our coach at school Mr Jackson.”
Stefan’s Moorland School has gained a reputation for their ability to nurture footballing talent; Manchester United striker John Cofie went to the school.
Charlie Jackson, the Moorland football coach said: “Stefan has been with us since junior school and he has developed into a very good player. He is a well mannered, hard working boy and extremely tenacious in both his studies and in his football work.”
Jonathan Harrison who is the headmaster at the school said: “We are extremely proud of Stefan’s achievements.”
