Cain Attard was born on the 10 September 1994. He is a product of the Pieta Hotspurs Youth Nursery and he joined our Club in the 2015 Summer Transfer Market.
He began football with the Youth Nursery of Melita before joining Pieta Hotspurs when he was eleven years old, where he made it through all the ranks before he made it to the Senior Team. Cain stands out with his defensive skills thanks to his fast over-laps and determination on the side.
Cain made his debut in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship (Qualifying round) at the age of nineteen years old on the 5 March 2014 in the narrow 2-1 defeat against Sweden. He started the match and played all the ninety minutes.
In the 2014-2015 Season, Cain reached a remarkable achievement as he was a regular-player with Pieta Hotspurs as they clinched the BOV First Division League. During this season, made twenty-seven appearances and scored one goal.
In the 2015 Summer Transfer Market, the Stripes sought to strengthen their defensive department and the choice fell on Attard. He signed a five-year contract on Thursday, 6 August following a permanent move from Pieta Hotspurs.
He made his debut with our Club on the 12 August in the BOV Super Cup in the 2-1 defeat against Hibernians. In his first season, he made twenty-four appearances where he established himself as a first-team regular player and had a very positive season.
Following a very satisfactory season with the Stripes, Cain was handed the debut with the National Team, after he had already played in the Under-19 and Under-21’s National Team. He made his debut in a friendly match on Friday, 27 May in the 6-0 defeat against Czech Republic.
Cain had an excellent start in his second season with our Club. In his debut in the UEFA Europa League with the Stripes, he scored the important goal to hand his team a very satisfactory 1-1 draw in the first leg against NK Siroki Brijegi which was played at the Pecara Stadium. The Stripes went on winning the second leg with a goal in each half to make it through the next round following a 3-1 aggregate victory.
