Juninho To Make A Return

Juninho To Make A Return

Boro legend Juninho is set to make a return to English football with Garforth Town FC.

The Brazilian has been invited by Steve Gibson to watch the FA Cup clash against West Ham United on Wednesday.

Garforth Town FC, who are based on the outskirts of Leeds, have made a move for the 36-year-old handing him a four game contract.

Garforth Town owner Simon Clifford said, "At Garforth Town we are looking over time to grow our youth development scheme, taking the best players from the numerous Brazilian Soccer Schools franchises around the country and feeding them into the first team."

We have always had a 30 year plan at Garforth Town which won’t bear its greatest fruit for a number of years but is based on that which I saw at Sao Paulo Football Club when I visited Brazil. Sao Paulo produced Juninho.
