Being able to sign my first professional contract is a reward for all the hard work I have put in over the years. I want to thank everyone at the club, and especially everyone within the youth academy, who has helped shape me into the person I am today. Now it is up to me to keep working hard and make the most of this opportunity.”
Sporting Director Murat Akin is also pleased to see Suma make the step up to the first team: “Kindo is a great example of what our youth academy stands for. He has made significant progress over the past few years and has worked his way towards first-team level step by step. We want to give young players the opportunity to develop at Beerschot and ultimately make the step into professional football. Kindo has shown through his performances and mentality that he deserves this opportunity. We are therefore delighted to offer him his first professional contract and look forward to seeing him continue his development.”
With Suma’s contract, Beerschot once again underline the importance of their own youth academy and the pathway for young talent to progress into the first team.
Good luck, Kindo!
