2022 Season Update
Inconsistency seems to be the name of my game. Despite starting relatively okay with Limerick FC, we then went on to have a start-stop season.

My first ever journeyman save and I'm starting right from the bottom with no qualification and no reputation to speak of. Starting in Europe, but I'm open to moving anywhere. Perhaps a journey around the world is in the offing?
Pre-Season
At the end of pre-season, Pete Rando’s come to the realisation that he might have bitten more than he could chew. Over the past 6 weeks, Pete’s been busier everyday than his entire 19 years combined.
First, the transfers, which con...
