Jon-Joe Friel, a young stalwart of Motherwell’s defence, was born in Scotland on the 2nd of February in the year 2008. Still barely wet behind the ears at the tender age of 17, yet Friel is causing rippling waves in Scottish football.
Friel, primarily serving as a central defender, stands head and shoulders above his competitors – literally, measuring to a solid 5 feet 11 inches (1.82 metres) in height. Furthermore, tipping the scales at around 12 stones 3 pounds (around 78 kilograms), this young lad has a robust physical presence on the football pitch.
You'd do well to remember the number 35, Jon-Joe Friel's jersey number, as it appears this boy wonder is swiftly making strides in the football world and is likely to be a repeated fixture in Motherwell's defensive line-up for years to come.
