A 12 year-old boy has been invited to meet Swansea City manager Garry Monk, after a video of his football skills went viral.

Jacob Mason, who has autism, became a star after his brother uploaded a video of his tricks to Facebook.

The video went on to be watched by thousands and the family received a call from Swansea City Football Club, inviting Jacob to the stadium for a meeting with the manager.

Jacob, from Waun Wen in Swansea, has been footy-mad since a young age. And with stars like Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey to look up to, who knows when we'll see him next.

Check out Jacob's keepie-uppies in the video below:
