A Dutch football club has signed a one-year-old player after seeing a clip of him kicking balls into his toy box.
VVV Venlo has taken youth scouting to the extreme by placing 18-month-old toddler Baerke van der Meij under contract.
His dad posted the video of him showing off his skills on YouTube where it attracted more than 150,000 hits.
It shows him skillfully and accurately chipping three balls into a toy chest, reports The Sun.
VVV Venlo, his local club, have signed him up to a ten-year "token" contract. His grandad played for the same team.
A club spokesman said: "The toddler's favourite position has not yet been determined.
"But we can speak of a right-footed player with a very good kicking technique, perseverance and, importantly, football genes via his grandfather."
