A Dutch football club has awarded a toddler a symbolic 10-year contract after watching video of him scoring a hat trick into his toy box.

When Baerke van der Meij, one and a half, drove three balls into the box one after another, his father Jorg posted the video on YouTube.

VVV, the club in the south-eastern town of Venlo where the family live, invited Baerke for a "trial".

They were doubly impressed by the fact his grandfather had played for VVV.

"Baerke did his best to amaze professional footballer Ken Leemans with his football techniques," the club said.

"One can speak of a right-footed player with a very good kick technique, perseverance and, importantly, football genes of grandfather Jan van der Meij."

Importantly, too, the little Dutchman can shout "bal" (English: ball).

The signing of the contract, with a little help from Jorg, was toasted with a glass of orange juice.

  • ik geloof hier niks van....

  • I found the club of his but didn't found the 1 yr old player

  • How awkward would it be if he turned out to actually be crap at football... Just a fluke? I wish him all the best and I'm sure he'll have a very bright future ahead of him! :) Shame he's tied down to a 10 year contract with VVV- Venlo before he's actually old enough to know what he wants.
