Gibraltar forward Jaiden Bartolo on his move to Wycombe

The 18-year-old, who was born in Slough but is of Sri Lankan and Maltese descent and was raised in Gibraltar, joined the Chairboys from Non League Wealdstone.

He was initially going to play in the club’s development squad, but after impressing manager Matt Bloomfield, he has been included in six of the club’s seven matchday squads so far this campaign, featuring three times.

This includes making his debut in the opening weekend 3-2 defeat away at Wrexham, where he played the final half-an-hour.

Speaking on his move to Wanderers, Bartolo, who has also played for Amersham Town, said: “I came in pre-season and just worked my socks off day in, day out.

“I have been training every day and I’m glad that I am getting opportunities.

“I’m just taking them as they come.”

On learning from experienced individuals such as Sam Vokes and Garath McCleary, who made their professional debuts when Bartolo was an infant, he added: “When you play with these players, day in, day out, they are always going to make you better.

"You learn off them and a lot of the lads, especially the older lads, have given me loads of advice.

“They have told me what I can do better and how I can improve, so working with the coaches and the advice that was there is going to benefit me.”

The teenager is away with his fellow Gibraltarians as Team 54 prepares for two Nations League fixtures against Andorra and Liechtenstein respectively.

If he features in any of those two matches, it will be his first appearance for his country on home soil.

His previous outings have been played in Portugal.

He added: “It’s going good as I’m bedding into the squad just fine.

“They’re all good lads and we have good laughs.

It’ll be great to play in Gibraltar for the first time – I’ve not played here before as the other games were in Portugal so it’ll be good to be in front of the home crowd and hopefully, make an impact.”
