Ryan Tafazolli, half Iranian - half English defender playing for Mansfield Town

[Kiarash]

I just came across this player and apparently he is also half Iranian. His name is Ryan Tafazolli, he is a center back and 23 years old. He was raised in the Southampton football academy and now currently plays for Mansfield Town in League Two. He seems like a prolific goalscorer for a center back and he looks very tall.

Btw, pretty interesting article about Tafazolli here: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/28209982

Apparently he was on verge moving to Scottish team Dundee United but the negotiations failed because Mansfield Town didn't want him to go. Article is from July 2014.

Thanks Asoen, but I thought this deserved more attention than just a single post in that thread. I wonder why we havent talked about Tafazolli before.

I think there are more players like him. How did you found him?
As he is not listed as an Iranian I couldn't found him on transfermarkt.de before. (Now I send a correction)

I found him when searching through old forums of ISP. Someone brought him up and I havent seen his name here before, thought it was interesting to share it here. I am still not done with scouting

Can we keep all of these players in one thread?

I don't think he is on TM's radar, but he looks promising. Wonder what his sentiments about playing for TM are?
