They have another professional in Cesar Lolohea (the scorer vs the All Whites in the WC qualifier), who has played four/five games with Stade Lavallois in the French 2nd tier this season. Midfielder Stephane Tein-Padom seems another interesting player, played with Chateauroux (another Ligue 2 side) reserves last year, but have no idea on where he is at the moment, as it seems he's no more there. Also striker Jean Philippe Saiko is now playing in French low tiers but he's just had a trial with Vendee Por sur Vie (who are pros):

But probably their best upcoming talent is Mikael Partodikromo, an APFA product who's playing with Sheffield United (has already featured in their u21s). Still very early to say how good he'll be though.

So I agree that they will probably be NZ toughest opponents (again).

Thanks for the info on other New Caledonian players. I'd forgotten about Mikael Partodikromo who was at APFA at Lincoln and played briefly in the Mainland Premier League.


Found an interesting article reviewing his progress at Sheffield United in the first half of this season - sounds like he's been doing well:

He's mentioned in the match u-18 reports here and there on the club website:

Might have been injured as he appears less regularly in the second half of the season and reappears in matches towards the end as a sub.
