Junior footballer Christian Paulat-Brigg has been snapped up by a professional club.

For the goalkeeper (above) it is the start of a dream come true after signing for his favourite team, Burnley.

But it was a case of third time lucky after having had one unsuccessful trial at Burnley and another at Bradford City.

He said: "I was disappointed that I didn't make it before but I feel chuffed. It was a different coach who came from Burnley the second time."

The South Craven School student has previously played with both Sutton and Bingley Juniors.
