Na’im Zuill, the 17‑year‑old Bermudian forward, made the headlines in England when Bolton Wanderers’ Under‑18 side held Peterborough United to a 2‑2 draw in a highly competitive match on Sunday. The teenage striker opened the scoring for Bolton in the 12th minute, turning a corner into a half‑volley that found the bottom‑right corner of the net.

Bolton’s early advantage was doubled by Daniel Ogboru, but the visitors fought back, with their own Daniel Masolo finding the back of the net. Zuill’s goal, however, was the match‑defining moment and gave the Bermudian youngster his first senior goal in England.

The 17‑year‑old, who has been part of Bermuda’s U‑17 and U‑20 national teams, continued to impress in the English system. He was instrumental in holding off a late surge from Peterborough, and his composure in front of goal was praised by Bolton’s academy coach.

Back home, Bermudian football fans applauded Zuill’s performance, noting his ability to adapt to the faster pace and stronger physicality of English youth football. The experience is expected to aid his development and could open doors for future professional opportunities.

Zuill’s goal is a reminder that Bermuda’s footballers are making an impact abroad, and it fuels hopes that more local talent will follow in his footsteps to compete on international stages.
