The goal of the club is to help push players to the next level and we wish Marcus all the best of luck as he continues to chase his dream. He is a young, intelligent and talented player who possesses important qualities and has a very large margin of growth. He is very familiar with the Italian style of play and has improved tremendously in the demanding, tactical aspects required to have if one wants to play at a high level.
