SOCCER super kid Michael Richardson is living his dream of playing for hometown club Newcastle United after jumping TEN leagues in one season.

 

Michael, 19, was ­recommended to the Toon Army while at former club Walker Central in the lowly Northern Alliance.

 

Bosses snapped him up after a trial and the ex-apprentice electrician has continued to impress for the Premier League giants.

 

Michael has already earned a place on the bench for the first team and could figure for his injury-hit club in Sunday’s televised clash with Aston Villa.

 

He said: “I don’t think it has sunk in – from going out with my mates for a kick around to running out in front of 60,000. “It happened so quickly and I am just loving every minute. I never thought I’d get this far in six months.”

Good luck to the lad and I hope he goes on to be the big thing.

 

It does however show the lack of depth in our squad when we're pulling in a lad with such little experience.

 

I wonder how much his contract is?

 

DL so what you on now as a sparky son?

MR £150pw plus overtime sir

DL no bother kidda, 5 year contract on £160 pw you've earned it son.
