Balzan's young player Eric Atkins is heading to Serbia to spend a seven-day training camp with Red Star Belgrade's U-16 selection next week.

The 15-year-old caught the eye of the Red Star Academy last winter when two Serbian coaches travelled to Malta and held training sessions with Balzan's youth teams.

It was here that Atkins fell under the radar of the two Red Star coaches who kept in close contact with Balzan to follow the player's progress.

This month, Atkins has been invited to head to Serbia for a one-week training camp so that they can assess his progress at their training facilities.

Atkins is the youngest member of the Balzan academy who started for the U-19 side this season in the Youth League Section A championship.

Atkins will be in Belgrade training with Red Star between March 11 and 18.
