A story made for football

The Alpine Rams signed defensive back Nickson Massa only days before their road game against the London Warriors. Massa was born in London, grew up near the stadium and suddenly lined up against the team he had previously trained with.

From short-term signing to the field

According to the AFLE, Massa was added at short notice and went straight into the Rams’ first road game. His family was in the stands, the Warriors were on the other sideline and Alpine left with the win.

Massa had trained with London for a few weeks before the club went in another direction. Against the Warriors, he got his chance to answer on the field.

Momentum for Alpine

For the Alpine Rams, the story matters both emotionally and sportingly. At 1-1, they are showing that they are not just here to participate.

Nickson Massa represents the kind of story that makes European football special: get the chance, be ready, deliver.
