Al Masi and Mahanaim FC team up to produce wing-wizard Edward Jassy for SK Sigma Olomouc
Mahanaim FC has announced that its successful collaboration with Al Masy FC has earned skilful winger Edward Jassy a professional contract with SK Sigma Olomouc in the Czech Republic.
The partnership between Mahanaim FC and Al Masi was all 18-year old Edward Jassy needed to achieve his dream as he signs a 3-year contract with an option for another year with Sigma.
The COLLABORATION
While Edward moves to the Czech Republic as a player from Al Masi, Mahanaim FC takes credit for his youth development days in Abuja where he was groomed to become the player he is today under the tutelage of coach Lawal Dankoli and his cast.
ATTRIBUTES
Edward can play on either side of the attack as a winger. He is a nimble footed player who has ability to take on any defenders. His quick decision making ability makes him a dangerous opposition.
This collaboration by both teams has thus catapulted the highly rated prodigy into the heart of Europe, where he is expected to continue to develop and become a future star.
LEGACY
Edward joins Samuel Sokoato who is his mate from Mahanaim FC at Sigma, as well as Ahmad Ghali, ex Mahanaim player who is already an established first team player of the club.
