Coach Hopkins' Take
“Kian is a young forward who plays with a strong attacking mindset and a natural eye for the goal. Operating primarily as a striker, he combines intelligent movement, sharp positioning, and a willingness to work across the front line to create scoring opportunities. Known for his competitive mentality and work rate, he contributes on and off the ball, pressing defenders and helping initiate attacks from the front.”
