Young Welsh speedster racing to catch up with Wales star brother

Theo Cabango is a young man in a hurry in more ways than one. Not only is he blessed with electrifying pace, but he's also racing to catch up with his international footballer brother.

His elder sibling Ben is already some way down his sporting career path, having made more than 80 appearances for Swansea City, won three Welsh caps and most recently been included in the Wales squad ahead of Thursday evening's huge World Cup play-off against Austria at Cardiff City Stadium.

But 20-year-old Theo, who is some 18 months younger, is on the rise as well.
