Athlete profile lookup with derived age and years-at-team API

Searches TheSportsDB (keyless) for an athlete and returns a normalized profile, deriving current age (or age-at-death when applicable) and years at current team from raw birth/signing dates. The MORE: the feed returns string dates; we compute age and tenure and normalize the verbose strXxx fields. Covers all sports, not just soccer. Distinct from data-sports-team (club info). Answers 'how old is Lionel Messi', 'what position does player X play', 'who does athlete Y play for'.
