'In the incredible journey of Rayan Kolli, we discover a tale that pulses with determination
and unwavering dedication. From the tender age of seven, he embarked on his path with a fiery
passion that ignited his dreams.

Five days each week were a tapestry of rigorous training and fervent matches, leaving no room for
leisure or respite. His young mind was consumed by the dual demands of academics and sports, weaving
his hours into a symphony of effort and aspiration.

In this remarkable odyssey, there was no space for childhood frivolities. Rayan's companions were his
books and his game, his playground the arena of sportsmanship.

He navigated the labyrinthine corridors of hard work, bolstered by the support of countless mentors -
an array of coaches, physiotherapists, managers, and directors, all contributing threads to the tapestry
of his journey. As others faded away, he emerged as the phoenix of his age group, the sole survivor of
relentless battles on the field.

Rayan traversed the breadth of Britain and ventured beyond its borders for games and tournaments, each
journey a testament to his defiance of odds and his unyielding determination.

He relinquished moments of repose, his weary face cradled by the car's window as he dozed off, fatigue
melting into anticipation for the morrow's endeavors.

Finally, the culmination of his relentless drive arrived - the day he stepped onto the "QPR" first team.
A dream actualized through sweat-soaked hours and unyielding perseverance. Yet, this moment was not solely his;
it was shared with those who bore witness to his voyage.

A poignant reminder that success is not plucked from thin air, but forged through the fires of sacrifice
and dogged persistence.

This landmark day echoes far beyond the boundaries of the pitch, resonating with the profound truth that
consistent labor and wholehearted dedication are the keys to triumph. Rayan's all-encompassing devotion
transformed into a beacon that guided him to the first team, a destination suffused with pride and fulfillment.

As we join in celebrating his monumental achievement, our prayers weave through the tapestry of emotions.
May God bless Rayan with an abundance of success and excellence in the tapestry of his future, a future he's bound
to shape with the same ardor he's displayed thus far.

And as the night sky recently bore witness to Rayan Kolli's debut for QPR, a heartfelt chorus of gratitude emerges.
A son's achievement intertwining with the gratitude towards Gareth Ainsworth, who opened a door of opportunity,
and the camaraderie of teammates who stood as pillars of support.

A night that etched a constellation of memories, not just for the player, but for the family whose hearts beat in tandem
with his journey. With profound gratitude, we echo a heartfelt thank you to all who contributed to this emotional
crescendo. Starting with Chris Ramsey,les, Allex Carrol, Micah, Lee, Steve, furlong, Empey, Hall,J osh, isa, Liban,…..
thank you all.'

Kolli has certainly flowered.......sorry, couldn't resist that!

Nice article. Call me radical as much as you like but I say give him a run in the first team along
with Teddy Lawrence. Worth a try.

One thing seems certain to me with our current strikers that are playing goals scored will be at a premium!

[Conor Campbell]

Great that talent is coming through.

Looking forward to seeing Rayan and Teddy breaking through.

Enjoyed reading Rayan’s dad’s article - thanks for sharing.
