Baerke van der Meij was filmed kicking three balls in succession into a box, after which his father uploaded the clip onto the video-streaming website.
After coming across the video, local club VVV-Venlo then offered Baerke, whose grandfather Jan van der Meij also played for the side, a ten-year "token" contract.
