Bristol-born footballer Miguel Freckleton has risen from non-league football to the Champions League in just two and a half years. The 23-year-old, who won a trophy with Chesterfield in 2024, joined Austrian champions LASK last summer. Freckleton has made seven appearances for LASK and made his European debut in an extra-time victory against Celtic, which secured LASK's first-ever Champions League appearance.
