PRACTICE makes perfect – and little Wanderer Brooke Markland is getting pretty close with this bit of backyard football skill!
The soccer-mad six-year-old, who already plays for Bolton’s Under-nines, was brushing up on her shooting in the back garden of her home in Dean earlier today.
Watched by her mum, Clare Markland, she produced this inch-perfect shot and flamboyant celebration which would put Phil Parkinson’s side to shame!
Brooke's uncle, Paddy Brady, sent a video clip to two of her Wanderers heroes, Filipe Morais and Adam Le Fondre – who both praised her skills.
And ex-Bolton star Stu Holden also chipped in with a comment from the US, adding: “What a strike! Top bin!”
Paddy told The Bolton News: “She loves playing for Wanderers.
“All she does is practice outside with her football in the back garden and I do drills with her.
“She just keeps getting better and better.”
