A 18-month-old boy may be the youngest star to have scored a football contract after being signed by Dutch soccer club VVV-Venlo.
Baerke van der Meij shot to fame last week after his father, Jorg, posted a video of his talented son shooting three balls accurately into his toy box.
The video showcasing the boy's kicking skills has since had more than 1 million views on YouTube and caught the attention of VVV-Venlo, prompting the club to sign the toddler on a 10-year professional contract.
The toddler joined the club's star midfielder, Ken Leemans, during a training session in Venlo's De Koel Stadium before being offered the "symbolic" contract.
"The toddler's favourite position has not yet been determined. However, we can speak of a right-footed player with a very good kicking technique, perseverance and, importantly: football genes via his grandfather," a VVV Venlo press release said.
The club, which Baerke's grandfather also played for, even went so far as to have Baerke attend a press conference and "sign" his contract.
Although Baerke may still have a long way to go, ball skills may be in the little boy's genes because his grandfather used to play for the club.
