Little legend and future soccer superstar, Eric will be pulling up the socks and donning the cleats as he plays soccer for the first time.
"It feels awesome because it makes me feel really happy," Eric said.
"I'm glad we get to play this year after we had to stop earlier because of COVID-19."
Eric will be playing for the mighty Exeter Soccer Club in the under-6 team. It's not just the game itself he loves.
"I like training and the games we play at training," Eric said.
"I also like that I get to play soccer with my friends."
Eric is looking to be the complete package in his soccer career. He's even following his dad's footsteps and supporting the Hammers.
"I want to be an "all rounder" and try every position because I love to run around," he said.
"I go for West Ham United because they're my dad's team."
