    Kokoro Aoki, Ryo Ishii and Taiki Yamada might have some potential as well.

    Unfortunantely had a terrible debut first two goals where terrible mistakes. Still young though hopefully can recover mentally and perform if/or whenever a chance comes again.

    His team is officially relegated to Spanish third tier.

    He just made one rare apperance, but was the team's second-choice GK during most part of the season (he made the bench 35 times).

    One positive is that he might get more playing time in the lower league.

    Thanks for the info, unfortunately he probably burned bridges with that bad debut.
