We're delighted to announce that Ralfi Hand has signed a 2 year contract with Charlton Athletic and becomes our 52nd signing to a professional club that has been on our academy programme ⚽️📝 We’re proud that we could play a part in supporting his development and journey 🤝
Dan Hogan, Kinetic South Head Coach: “Ralfi has been a pleasure to coach since coming into Kinetic, eventually getting what he deserves by singing at a top club in Charlton.
He has many outstanding qualities; most noticeably his range of pass. Ralfi became a pivotal character in the group & showed on countless occasions his willingness to compete & to win. There aren’t many players around that can execute both sides of the game the way Ralfi does with his tireless work & determination off the ball aswell as the technical qualities he possesses!
He has been a major part of our current FA Youth Cup run, playing in every game up to now scoring goals, providing assists & his winning mentality resonating across the squad. I wish him all the best in the future.”

So appears to be an U18.

"A Trialist" to Ralfi Hand. Henry you beat me by 3 minutes putting up a thread as I was on kitchen duties.
Ralfie had a good trial and played in a couple of good victories 6-0 against Bristol City and 6-3 against Spurs for U18 plus coming on for the U23 when down to 10 men last week.
He is an attacking midfielder @ForeverAddickted and scored the winning penalty in the shoot out at Welling United when kinetic represented Corinthians Casuals.
Plenty of assists, takes a good corner and will chip in with goals. Just 17 two weeks ago, comes from Dartford and his Dad Trevor played for Dartford, Margate and other teams at that level.

Omar Richards, Joe Aribo, Kwadwo Baah, Joe Maja, Deji Elerewe, are just 5 of the youngsters who spent time being coached by Kinetic coaches. Joe Aribo spent the longest in the foundation and converted into a skilled midfielder from being a CB when younger.

Looks like the Ralfi Hand doesn't know what the left is doing.
