The 31-year-old quarterback began playing football in Europe when he failed to make it in the NFL and the Florida-raised sportsman is delighted with how things have turned out for him.

He told Gridiron magazine: “One piece of advice I got when I first arrived in Europe is to either stay with one team your whole career, or constantly switch teams so you can see it all.

“From the time I was little, I aways said I wanted to be a pro football player and travel the world, so this was the best of both.

“I’ve been to 30 countries now – it’s kind of crazy.”

Jadrian believes growing up playing the sport benefitted him hugely because of the qualities it taught him.

He said: “Growing up playing the game in Florida, it’s not just a game, it’s a way of life.

“It teaches you so many values about life; discipline, pushing forward, remaining positive no matter what…

“I ended up becoming a multi-year captain and one of the top quarterbacks in my university’s history, a three-and-a-half year started, so I had an awesome career.”
