About Me
THE JOURNEY OF A
YOUNG FOOTBALLER
My name is Oliver Rundle, but I am more affectionately known as "Ollie" by my friends. I am 10 years old and an avid football enthusiast.
My favourite teams are Manchester United and Arsenal, followed closely by Real Madrid. My football hero is the GOAT from Portugal, CR7, Cristiano Ronaldo.
My parents started my football foundations at Little Kickers just before I was 2. From there, my passion grew from strength to strength. I discovered my ability with my left foot — however, I realize the importance of using both feet.
I moved to Cape Town at 5 and started training with VSA (Valley Soccer Academy). I then felt the desire to push myself even further and compete in competitive leagues to test my skills.
I joined Hamiltons FC and SuperSport United FC in South Africa. In December 2025, I moved to London, where I now play for Walton & Hersham Swans U10s in the Surrey Youth League Div 1, and for StarPlayer U10s in the JPL. I also train with the private academy PDA to keep sharpening my game, along with a few one-on-one private sessions to make sure my game is always on point.
Passion
Football has been my passion since before age 2, driving me to constantly improve.
Left-Footed
Natural left-footed player while continuously developing both-foot ability.
Competitive
Always seeking greater challenges and competitive environments to grow.
