On-loan Spanish left-back Alex Valle has really bought into the club since arriving from Barcelona in the summer, and his message post-match exemplified these sentiments.

He said, “amazing night I will never forget. What an honour to win my first professional trophy with this club. Thanks to the fans for their unconditional support and to my family and friends who are always there for me, you and the rest. Let’s go for more Bhoys!”
