Jersey Bulls have signed Somalia international midfielder Jarma Mohamed.
The 19-year-old has moved to the island to work and will be part of the Bulls squad for their Isthmian League South Central campaign.
Mohamed has had spells at the academies of Manchester City, Liverpool and Wigan Athletic, as well as playing in non-league football.
“He’s a young lad that’s had a great pedigree and a great upbringing in the game,” Jersey bulls manager Elliot Powell told BBC Sport.
“But like 99.9% of people that are in academies they have to think about life after football at some point if they don’t quite make it professionally at the first stab.
“He’s looking at Jersey as an option to move away, get his head back on his football and enjoying himself again, because he’s had a couple of years where he’s bounced around a couple of different clubs both professionally and then in non-league.
“It’s an opportunity for Jarma to press the reset button, work over here and develop his skills outside of football, but also hopefully use Jersey Bulls as a platform to maybe springboard and re-launch his career again as well.”
