Less than a week after success at the Emerging Socceroos Championships, Ethan Dyer (NSW U16) and Keigo Shimokawa (VIC U15) have been called up by New Zealand. All players at ESC had to be eligible for Australia in order to play so it's a tug of war started nice and early. https://t.co/Iy1LVrjRJS

Ethan Dyer has more than handful of caps (by my count - 8) for the NZ U17's and he's one I'd be keeping an eye on.
At least his selection in this squad ties him to us for this cycle. Could well be a tussle with Australia for him down the line at U19/U20 level of he continues to progress. That, and it sounds like he's right under their noses as it is at this level as it is.
