"While Haaland dominates headlines for his eye-catching 14 Premier League goals, it is not a patch on the prolific form of Merthyr Town striker Ricardo Rees. In fact, no player in England's top six leagues has scored more than Rees who has notched 18 goals in the National League North so far this season. What is even more impressive, he has managed it in just 17 games."
"All in all, he has scored 112 goals in 156 league appearances for the Town, cementing himself as a cult hero at Penydarren Park. "I didn't expect it at the start of the season to be honest, but I've always backed myself to score goals," Rees told BBC Sport Wales. "It's a crazy stat, the top goalscorer, it is a good feeling, a very good feeling.""
