Lucas lost his opportunity in Europe because timing is everything and we had no team at that point. Lucas returned home and continued to train and wait for the next opportunity to present itself. Lucas spent 6 weeks in Europe this summer between France and Italy training with different clubs in the regions and preparing himself to be game ready. Lucas has been in Scotland for 3 weeks now training with Kilmarnock Fc set up by David Thorburn , the news back is positive , GK Coach at Kilmarnock Billy Thompson was impressed with Lucas and he is presently on trial with Darlington Fc in the National Conference Division and we await further news.

Daniel was sent to England by Coach Riccardo in 2010 with the help of David Thorburn who handles all my goalkeepers when they go to the UK , Daniel has been returning to Birmingham City Fc over the past year and a half , recently he spent time at Chelsea Fc on trial there as well.
