The Neymar da Silva Santos Junior doppelganger signed for Limerick following stints at Avenue United and Ennis Town, and his ambitions echo those of his South American twin - albeit for Limerick FC's under-17 side.
"Hopes for the season - I'm looking for a top-three finish, and on goals I'm looking to score at least one or two in each game for the rest of the season," the 16-year-old told the club website.
