Alex Rose became the youngest ever player to score for London Lions' first team when he netted in the Herts County Premier win against Hatfield Social.

Sixteen-year-old Rose made his debut a few weeks ago but found the net in Lions 5-0 victory at the weekend.

Lions coach Darren Yarlett said: "I’m absolutely delighted for Alex. He only turned 16 in December and has already scored his first senior goal.

"I’ve been working with Alex for nearly two seasons now with the under-16’s and his attitude is excellent; he always wants to train, always wanting to learn and never complains, and that’s why he was invited in to train with us.
