Somalia midfielder Jarma Mohamed moved to eighth-tier Jersey Bulls in the summer
Not many 21-year-olds can say they have played international football, had spells at Liverpool and Manchester City and are now playing in non-league after being spotted on a mobile app.
But Jarma Mohamed's footballing journey is not that of your typical midfielder.
The combative playmaker has been recalled to Somalia's side for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers with Ghana this month, capping a rollercoaster year for the Liverpudlian.
"My mum was probably fed up with me just booting stuff in the house, so she got me involved as early as I could," Mohamed jokes with BBC Sport as he talks about the start of his footballing journey.
"When I was three she was begging teams to take me because the age that you're allowed is four.
"Eventually someone saw me playing and it turned out to be an Everton scout, so I ended up playing for Everton from four and then at that age between four to nine you can play for a few teams.
"It was at Liverpool and Everton, eventually chose Liverpool at nine, then signed for Man City at 11.
"I came out of Man City and got a scholarship at Wigan, which is one of the best memories of playing football, having a two-year deal, playing day-in, day-out, full-time schedule, staying in digs up in Wigan, travelling up and down the country for away games, performing, picking up the armband a few times, FA Youth Cup, things like that."
Jersey Bulls' midfielder Mohamed wins historic call-up

Mohamed featured alongside players including Jayden Danns at Liverpool and England stars Rico Lewis and Nico O'Reilly at Manchester City.
He was released by Wigan in 2024 and spent time in non-league football with Bamber Bridge and Newcastle Town.
His career came to a crossroads in the summer, when Isthmian League South Central side Jersey Bulls spotted him on an app for footballers.
"I was thinking what do I want to do?," he said.
"I could go abroad and do something, but I wasn't really too sure and I'd been playing showcase games with a company called Player, who basically put players in front of teams, they have an app, which is like a LinkedIn for footballers.
"Jersey Bulls were on the app looking for players and, long story short, the owner of Player put me in contact with Jersey Bulls.
"I know the club's amateur and no-one gets paid, but we worked out a job that aligns with the things that I do, obviously me having Uefa C licence coaching is something that I'd easily do and I've come over and done it."
Jarma Mohamed and his Jersey Bulls team-mates have yet to lose a league game this season
Mohamed now works as a youth coach in the island, while also anchoring the midfield of a Jersey Bulls side riding high in the eighth tier of English football.
Born in Toxteth, Mohamed's Somalian grandfather moved to Liverpool, part of a large Somali community in the city.
It is that heritage that has allowed him to play for a side ranked 200th in the world - the lowest of any team to progress to Afcon 2027's final round of qualifiers.
He made his Somalia debut against Mauritius in March as the Ocean Stars reached the final qualifying stages for Afcon for the first time in their history - they beat the island nation on penalties after two goalless draws.
"It was a random Wednesday afternoon in my kitchen and I was made up," Mohamed says of the moment he was asked to first join the Somalia squad earlier this year.
"I could physically see the community close to home, and going out to the camp and experiencing what that's like, it really lit a fire that I didn't even know I could get as far as trying to push my football career."
He is part of a Somali squad made up of more players from the global diaspora than those born in the country itself.
Having reached the qualifying stage for next year's tournament, the lowest ranked side left face a tough group against three-time champions Ivory Coast, The Gambia and Ghana - who have won the tournament four times and drew 0-0 with England in the group stage of this summer's World Cup.
"Everyone's from different parts of the world, you have lads who are Dutch, from Finland, Italy, there's another scouse with me in the team," Mohamed said.
"When we're all there, and even lads who are local and playing in the Somali league, everyone's just one family.
"That's one thing which we're really good at, we're together as a team,
