In conversation with Tony Yogane (Brentford FC)

The 17-year-old linked up with the young Bees from the Owls alongside Isaac Holland and has made 26 appearances so far this season for Neil MacFarlane's team.

I tried to stay on the last line and in my head I’m thinking that nothing is going to happen for me because they’re sat back. “The Atlantic Cup, against the first team (Ulsan Hyundai) they just kept passing and passing and my quads were done,” smiled Tony.
