The death of his father

In the period since his father’s death, his friends, teammates, coaches and family have rallied around the junior striker to console him. According to coach Tim Sweeney, they did their best to be there for him but then his performance wasn’t what it was, he was a teenager facing one of the most painful experiences imaginable.
