MARKHAM - After year long rumours, hopes, and dreams, dating back to BMO Field last April, the long awaited major signing is official: Julius 'Jules' Auyeung has joined Pistolas FC.
"We've been talking about bringing Jules to PFC for quite a long time now and now its a dream come true," said Romerinho. "Last year he was invited to BMO Field on loan for the Pistolas FC Intersquad game, and played so well that he obviously left a lasting impression on all present that day. Since then I've heard many a teammate comment on his skill and fitness - and they've really only seen him the one time. That's the kind of special player he is."
However, last year, his contract with Celtic was already in full swing and the dream never realized itself. Fast forward to September. Learning that some players were retiring or taking a leave of absence, PFC, led by captain Charles Eppich, began the recruitment process.
"His abilities to fool goalkeepers with his driving runs and magical shots has earned him the nickname 'The Asian Persuasion'," said Charles, "and one area we could improve on is persuading keepers to go the opposite way of our actual shots. Jules will be a perfect fit."
And just this week did the final word come down. He's in. Pistolas FC determination virtually stole this star studded player during the close of the January transfer window from Celtic.
After signing, Jules was quick to get a haircut, shedding his "lochs" for a new doo (see below). And with that look of seriousness, it's no joke: he's here to stay; here to win.
