It's awesome that there is a big spread of clubs in that list. Show some of the good work being done amongst clubs... in some areas at least.
Watch the battle now between the Nix and AFC to sign those not already with Weenix.
Luke Brooke-Smith has already as an example been trialling at NZCIS.
I expect we will hear an announcement on a new AFC Academy setup sometime this summer. Maybe operating out of Albany.
The U17 WC moving to an annual event could be a big help to both clubs with their talent ID. The best NZ talent showcased/bench marked on a world stage every 12 months.
Be interesting to see if somone like Martin Bullock who's presumbably based at Albany with NZF, is invited into any AFC Academy coaching setup. Been plenty of NZ age group coaches like Greenacre with strong Nix links in the past & present.
