Manuel Rass

Quick and elusive, Manuel Rass is an attacking outside back who has carved out a role in the Lions backline. Born on 19 April 1998, he is valued for his pace, sharp footwork and ability to finish chances, making him a threat whenever the ball reaches the wider channels. Rass thrives in an expansive, high-tempo game, using his acceleration to exploit space and his reading of the play to pop up in support of breaks. Beyond his attacking instincts, he offers a solid defensive presence, working hard to cover the back field and contribute under the high ball. A consistent performer for the Lions, he has featured across domestic and continental competition, steadily building his reputation as a dependable strike option. His willingness to chase, cover and compete makes him more than just an attacking luxury, giving his coaches a back who contributes at both ends of the pitch. As he continues to add polish to his game, Rass remains an important part of the Lions' plans in the back three.
