Goldstein, 23, was a key player in the team that lost only one match all season.

He has been selected to represent England in a friendly four-team tournament in China later this month, before setting his sights on playing in the Futsal Champions League.

Goldstein said: “It was a great feeling and experience to be crowned champions. It has been a tough year for the Helveccia team as we started off getting paid but the players showed great focus after the payments stopped.

“The team features a mix of nationalities – with several South Americans – and we have gelled together as one unit. Our success has definitely put me in good stead for China.”

A 4-1 victory over Baku confirmed Helveccia as the top futsal team in England.

Goldstein said: “The Champions league will be a big challenge and a hard test. It’s a wonderful stage to play on and I cannot wait. Now it’s about preparing to play at the next level.”
