He moved to Holland last year, but as a minor he wasn't eligible for first team minutes. Utrecht expects Rubin to play a large role within next year's squad.

Where did you see this? Getting first team minutes at his age in a league like Holland would be huge. The last players to do that were Bradley (:fapfapfap:) and John O'Brien ( ). I still remember this kid tearing it up at the U-17 level when he was what, 15?

Also, Caleb Stanko just signed his first professional contract at Freiburg and might get first team playing time next season. He's been training with the first team since March and with the reserves he's played 300 more minutes than the next closest player. He also became vice captain, and supposedly being a captain in Germany is no joke, and definitely an honor for a foreigner/non native speaker.
