Jon-Joe Friel, a proud Scottish lad, was born on the second day of February in 2008. At a ripe age of 17, Friel is carving his niche as a footballer of note and plays as a formidable defender for Motherwell. Spanning 1.82 metres from top to toe (or rather, 5 feet 11 inches, for the metrically challenged), he has a sufficiently sturdy build, tipping the scales at 78 kilograms (12 stone 3 pounds).
Known primarily for his skills as a central defender, Friel is a young guard dog in his team’s defensive line. His imposing height, coupled with his Lambert-like stoic stance, has been a game-changer on the pitch more often than not. He wears the number 35 jersey with an air of quiet confidence, symbolising his commitment to his role.
Though Friel does not have a history with Celtic Football Club spanning more than two seasons, he continues to establish himself as a promising talent in Scottish football, and his development is closely followed by fans and critics alike.
