A recommendation from Allan Saint-Maximin has seen Newcastle United sign his friend Florent Indalecio - a striker who last played in Australia's fourth division.
The 23-year-old has been signed to the Toon's under-23 side for the rest of the season after impressing during a trial, which included scoring a stunning bicycle kick goal.
Indalecio become friends with Saint-Maximin while the duo were in St Etienne's youth academy, until the former was booted out at the age of 15 for disciplinary issues.
After moving to Australia last year, Indalecio worked as bricklayer and made two appearances for fourth-tier club Fraser Park until Covid-19 cut that stint short.
