The Doncaster Rovers football club has announced that it has signed One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson as a non-contract player!
If, like us, you were worried that this meant Louis was quitting the band, fear not! Louis still plans to be a member of one of the biggest boy bands in the world! Louis, a native of Doncaster and a long-time fan of the team, actually worked as a waiter at Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium before he made it big with One Direction.
“I’ve been a massive Doncaster fan for a long time and growing up in Doncaster, I’ve been to plenty of games at the Keepmoat,” Louis stated. “To be part of the club is incredible.”
Louis will likely not play a game with the team until September or October for a charity called Bluebell Wood. Manager of Doncaster, Paul Dickov said, “It’s fantastic he’s a Doncaster supporter because first and foremost it raises the profile of the club. We can get him in September time to do a bit of training, get him involved in a reserve game and the proceeds of that will go to charity.”
What do you think of Louis trying his hand at professional soccer?
