Eyob Gebreselassie
Eyob had a good first season for the Saints, slotting in nicely in different positions through out the year, proving his versatility. A young man of wisdom, he has also proven a popular person among his peers for his good attitude. We hope he can build on his first season and help lead the club and it’s new generation of up and comers.
