Player Spotlight

Rylar Namba

This season has shown tremendous growth from Rylar, as both a goalkeeper and a footballer. He saves goals at one end and assists them from the other, and he has meshed the two so well that when Volonté have the ball he plays almost as a seventh player in possession rather than just a keeper.
