Baller League lands major UK broadcast deal ahead of draft with star-studded competition to be shown on TV

38-year-old defender Adrian Marriapa is one of many former Premier League stars joining the highly anticipated Baller League.

The ex-Jamaican international started off his career by progressing through Watford's youth academy and playing for the first team in the 2005/06 season when he was just 18 years old.

After making an impressive 248 first-team appearances – including 19 in the Premier League – with Watford, he then joined Reading in 2012 for a short spell, making 29 league appearances.

Following the Royals relegation from the Premier League in the 2012/13 season, he then signed for newly promoted Prem club Crystal Palace, where he played for three years before returning to the Hornets in 2016.

After a series of spells at lower-league clubs, Marriapa now plays his football with National League side Wealdstone – signing a short deal last year.

In the Baller League, he will represent N5 FC, which is managed by the likes of the Arsenal invincibles Jens Lehmann, Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg.

Games will consist of two 15 minute halves.

After 11 games, the top four placed teams will meet in the play-offs to determine the winner of the competition.

Games will be played weekly every Monday from March 24, and will stream live on YouTube and Twitch, as well as be shown on Sky Sports in the UK.
