Ghana youth international Emmanuel Ntim made his full debut for French Ligue 2 side Valenciennes after starting in their 1-1 draw with AC Ajaccio on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old lateral defender was handed a starting berth by manager David Le Frapper and he lasted 74 minutes at the Stade du Hainaut.
The former Right to Dream Academy graduate justified himself at the role and this could secure him a regular. He made his first team debut over the weekend by coming off the bench to play in their 2-0 loss at Clermont.
Ntim played for Ghana at the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup in New Zealand.
