Age just a number for striker Fernandes


PETALING JAYA: Brazilian striker Heberty Fernandes may be 35 years old but he is putting his younger teammates in the Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) squad to shame.

Fernandes only joined the team on loan from Thai club Bangkok United last July but has scored nine goals and four assists in 10 domestic matches, thanks to his work rate and passion for the game.
