@Sanchezzer You are in luck! I'm currently making the final changes to the sequel, Strike, which will be out next summer.

Thanks for choosing to read Kick - I'm so happy 5S enjoyed Budi's story.

I'm so excited to be returning to the world of Kick in my new novel, Strike, publishing next summer!

Expect big moments, big emotions, and lots of football.

@Hln1972 I think England will win. They've demonstrated how resilient they are and plenty of those players tasted defeat in the last Euros final. It's time! Believe!
