Destination unknown - goalkeeper's 2,000-mile van trip to find new club
Goalkeeper Milo Beimers is undertaking a 2,000-mile journey across Europe with one goal - to find a new club from his base in the back of a van.
Milo Beimers, an 18-year-old goalkeeper, is currently residing in a van while traveling across Spain and Portugal in search of a new club. The young athlete, who left his Irish Premiership team Glentoran at 13, is embarking on a 2,000-mile journey with his father Kevin, who is also a video game designer and enjoys live sport. The family converted an old van into a home on wheels, complete with a bed, storage, and a cooking area.
Milo is eager to take advantage of the opportunity to make his own way in the sport and explore new clubs across the top five tiers in Spain and Portugal. Born to Canadian parents, Milo has a Dutch passport, which aids his player registration with European clubs. He is learning Spanish and immersing himself in the culture to better integrate during his trials.
