Young Lions get their men including Shahdan

Courts Young Lions have got their men thanks once again to their 'national interest' card.

Courts Young Lions have Navin Nigel Vanu from Woodlands Wellington, Ruzaini Zainal from SAFFC, Shahir Hamzah from Home United, Emmeric Ong from Hougang United and Sheikh Abdul Hadi from Gombak United.

Even Shahdan Sulaiman, whom the Stags have been unwilling to release, is joining the Jalan Besar side.

Tampines Rovers had wanted to release the 22-year-old midfielder only in October as they needed him for the championship race for he is playing a pivot part at the Eastern giant.

One wonder if clubs will be playing U23 players in pivot roles if the Cubs come calling everything when they are considered great players of the future thanks to a national interest card.
