Get ready, fellow football enthusiasts! FC St. Pauli, our beloved Bundesliga team, has beefed up its attacking force. In a thrilling move, Ricky-Jade Jones, a speed demon from the English third-tier side, Peterborough United, is joining the ranks and heading to the Millerntor. Details about the length of the 22-year-old's contract in Hamburg, though, remain under wraps.
Coach Alexander Blessin had this to say about the new addition to the team: "Ricky's lightning speed and agility are his selling points, often bringing opponents to a halt—be it through skill or foul play. He's not just a formidable force in offense, but a valuable asset in both pressing and shifting to defense."
This season, Jones, hailing from Peterborough, has notched up an impressive 57 matches for his youth club, scoring 17 goals and providing an additional four assists.
