HOW I GOT MY FIRST PRO CONTRACT: Youssef’s Story

This one is for all the people with big dreams. The ones who believed in themselves when no on else did. The players that kept pushing against all the odds. This is the story of our striker, Youssef Chentouf. One of the hardest working guys we've had at RB. When he joined he was the youngest on the team and he learnt from the OG's. He has now signed his first professional contract with Championship side Wigan Athletic. This is his story...

One of my favourite signings for the RB. Saw a young lad who had bundles of talent but was still super raw in his techniques dominate some of the best defenders Ive worked with at the time. I signed him after the game, the rest was history 🤝 My lil bro Youssef, Im so proud of you - go smash it ❤️ Love Gaffer

My little cousin Youssef, always believed in you since day . 🙏💯❤️

[@olamideodupitan9637]

Bro, at the beginning i thought it was an ad, it was only when i saw Youseff was when i realised it was the proper video. But on a serious note, seeing real life examples make me so happy and blessed to know people like me can really get those chances. I already knew but it was great hearing this was about his comment about signing a professional contract before gooing to university and the family comment. Stay blessed Youssef and good luck, keep that drive. One day we'll meet on that beautiful pitch.

[@davea5312]

Congratulations Yousef, The hard work does not stop there.

Buzzing for both Youseff and the RB lads. His hard work and talent has taken the opportunity but it's the whole team at RB that has got him there. Who'll be next?

Hi After watching this video, I want to play for rising ballers I know I'm good enough to start Please let me know how I can get in contact Thanks

[@reubz5k214]

mashallah

[@ariana5731]

Sad that he was mostly played as a sub for you lot when he had bundles of talent. I saw his talent from a far, same with hb which I don’t know where he’s gone. Good to see other Muslim brothers doing well for themselves.

[@mrnumba154]

I think they had him on the bench a lot when they stepped up to non league because he struggled a bit with the physicality playing against grown men. The strength will come, he's only 18. They clearly still believd in him and were making moves behind the scene.

[@jakegreen5743]

best club in world 🔵⚪️

[@delzsupreme]

Congratulations, I wonder who's going to be next to make it, Hamza, Bunmi, Melvin, Ruben, Ayo and the twins have the most potential.

[@boluosinkolu5737]

I thought Melvin got signed

[@sk.1695]

Bunmi needs to get signed, he’s too cold
