Looks like União de Leiria were once a strong top flight club in Portugal and they do play out of a modern 24,000 capacity stadium. Built for the UEFA Euro 2004. Club had lots of financial issues 10-15 years ago, and was relegated down to the 3rd tier.

They were 12th in the 2nd tier last season. This is the level that Tyler Boyd first played in when coming to Europe as a 20-21 yr old. He then went on to a good season with Tondela in the top flight, before moving to Turkey.

Overall disappointing for Singh, but yes hopefully he finds his mojo and love for the game. It's been a pretty tough miserable 3-4 years now for him since Covid started. Then aka Just either Leiria get promoted, or he catches the eye of someone in a higher league.
