“In secondary school, to the surprise of everyone, including my parents, I dropped Geography for Spanish language. This was driven by my desire to one day play for Real Madrid or Barcelona because of Ronaldo and Messi. I am excited and I would love to move to Spain, where I think I have a better chance to flourish than in England,” Sina said.
The youngster is expected to join Pathfinder in the summer window.
Sina is a versatile player, operating as an all-around midfielder who can play as a central defending midfielder or central attacking midfielder. He can also play as a striker in the number 10 role.
His passion for football took a positive turn when he joined Notts County Football Academy at seven years before moving to Basford United Football College and Educational Academy.

He is currently in his second year at the academy, where he is studying sports science, football development and technologies but also plays semi-professional football in a Youth Premier League.
He was born on September 21, 2005, at Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham, England.
Former Flames defender Ojukwu Malunga advised authorities to track the youngster.
“It is good that Malawi National Football Team coach Patrick Mabedi is casting his net wider to scout talent. Football authorities should monitor his development for possible call-up,” Malunga said.
