Well done. Didn't play a massive part in the All Whites recently but nonetheless sad to see them go. Especially Barron who wasn't really that old.

Thanks lads for the efforts in helping us have a successful WC campaign. You both played valuable parts and it was appreciated.

Bit of a shame to hear this, but both players realistically wouldn't play any higher than NZFC level so now they can focus on their occupations without interuption and can look back on what was a huge achievement of being at a football world cup.

Both are good enough for A-League

That's a huge call Oska - especially in the case of one of those players.

prime news did a story on him today.

and good stuff from the dom post

I think that given a few games to settle both could definately find a niche at a club in Aus or at the Nix, it's a shame it's unlikely to happen.
