FOUR youngsters from Inverness are currently taking on top talent from across Europe at a football tournament in Bulgaria.
Ben Fraser, James Harmsworth, Leo MacDonald and Harrison Mackenzie, who all train with the Mark Holmes Football Academy, were selected to play at the competition this weekend.
The quartet are playing for Little Tekkers Football Academy based in Annan which is run by former Caley Thistle and Northern Ireland Under-21 international Bryan Gilfillan.
Gilfillan contacted Holmes looking for quality players to join his team for the tournament who recommended the four youngsters to join up with the squad.
They will take on teams from academies based in Bulgaria and from across Europe this weekend, including CSKA Sofia on Sunday.
Holmes said: “Bryan is my good friend and I was sent details about this but couldn’t make the tournament myself,
“So Bryan will take his academy over there and my 4 selected boys will join Bryan’s academy for the tournament.
“The boys will play top Bulgarian and Italian academies plus many other countries who will attend.
“It will be a great experience for the kids from Inverness.”
