I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Jouke train with the first team a few times, and I must say, the boy has got something special. His vision on the field is remarkable for someone his age, and his passing accuracy is exceptional. He’s got that natural instinct for the game that you can’t teach.

I believe so. Quick Boys are known for giving young players a chance, and Jouke seems to have the right temperament to handle the pressure. Of course, it’s a big step up from the U21 level, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him earn playing time and even contribute some crucial assists or goals this season.
