My name is Klive Manga and my passion for football began at the age of 7 with Carrick United. Quickly advancing due to my talent and dedication, I played a crucial role in winning the U16 league title with Waterford Crystal. Thanks to my father's heritage, I'm also eligible for England, which opens up exciting future opportunities. At 17, I progressed in my career by joining Villa FC and participating in the renowned FAI Player Development Programme. This full-time course involves intense training and matches and has produced exceptional players like Roy Keane and Owen Oseni. While in the programme, I was invited for trials with Wexford FC and played against Reading FC's U18 team, achieving victory. After a successful U18 season, I explored opportunities in the UK's National League but returned to Ireland for personal reasons. Back in Ireland, I trialed with Limerick FC and was offered a spot in their U20 squad. Unfortunately, their league application was denied, so I joined Carrigaline United instead. My key strengths on the field include exceptional speed, sharp positioning and strong one-on-one skills, making me a formidable defender.
