Sandro Speaks About Joining Harborough Town

Former Tottenham and Brazil star Sandro says he has joined Harborough Town because he misses football.

The 35-year-old has come out of retirement to sign for The Bees during the same week the team booked their place in the second round of the FA Cup.

The midfielder retired from the professional game last year, but agreed to put his boots back on after a chance conversation with Harborough manager Mitch Austin.

Sandro told Sky Sports News he also wanted to give something back to the football community:

Mitch Austin said the signing felt ‘totally unbelievable’ and he was ‘gobsmacked’ by Sandro’s decision to join the club.

He added: “I had a chance conversation with Sandro a couple of weeks ago and we got talking about football.

“I told him about Harborough Town FC and the journey we are on, and he has been messaging me ever since to sign on.”
