Sandro Comes Out of Retirement for Harborough Town

Sandro, the former Tottenham and Brazil midfielder, has come out of retirement to join Harborough Town, a Southern League Premier Central club. Harborough recently made headlines by defeating Tonbridge Angels in the FA Cup, which has led to their first-round tie against League One Reading. At 35, Sandro had previously announced his retirement in September 2023 after an illustrious career, including stints at QPR, West Brom, and Genoa. Manager Mitch Austin expressed disbelief at securing such a high-profile signing, describing it as 'totally unbelievable' and noted that he had a chance conversation with Sandro that sparked the deal. Sandro's experience and fitness are expected to have a positive influence on the club, which is competing in step seven of the English football league system. This signing marks a significant moment for Harborough Town as they continue their FA Cup journey.
