Contact at the club.
Wouldn't happen to be Wilkinson?
We'll keep the mystery at that 
I read that he may be able to play in a reserves match? Azevo2011-07-28 08:54:41

Surely if hes not good enough to hold down a squad spot in Hungary he hasn't got a hope in hell in the MLS given he would be taking a coveted foreign spot.
Another forward is also trialing with Portland at the same time than Bright:
Kris is currently trialling with Bryne FK, who play in the Norwegian Adeccoligaen, or second division, and sems to be impressing as a good chance of picking up a contract:

And the article says that Bright was about to sign with Tampere in Finland before coming to Norway where there is the same coach than the one he had when he was playing for kristiansund
Incorrect. The team who agreed a contract with him in Finland was not Tampere & the coach who was at Kristiansund when he was there is not the coach at the Norwegian club he is at now.
So if you understand norwegian better than google translate what's the right info?

What it says is that Kris played with Alexander Midtsian in NZ, who is now at Bryne, and Alexander's father (who was or is the coach of Kristiansund BK) told the coach at Bryne about Kris.
Kris had a trial with Tampere but thy could not reach an agreement in negotiations.
(I think - translating the google translation! :))
Midtsian... another player hyped as being the best thing ever who wasn't.
NZ clubs have signed so much sh*t.
Yep it is correct that Alex Midtsians father recommended him to Bryne. Kris did not have a trial with Tampere in Finland who are currently suspended from participating in Finnish football.

Why?
Money laundering & match fixing allegedly. Google Tampere United & there are some details.
Actually it seems that it didn't work with Tampere because of the agent fee
This week the head of New Zealand shown up at Bryne, and he has shown, means that Bryne is interested in capturing 25-year-old with a view to next season.
- He is an extremely good finish and has a high detection rate of terminations, says Bryne coach Tommy Bergersen to Aftenbladet.no
Bright has previously played for clubs from the Netherlands, Norway, Greece, England and Hungary, and he is now klubbl�s.
His last club was Honv�d Budapest, Hungary.
Just before the transfer window closed, he was in Finland to sign the contract with Tampere, but transition stranded at the last minute due to conflicts over the agent's fee.
We follow Bryne: The latest news about the club here
After the transition to Tampere went down the drain, is bright with no club.
Bryne has investigated the possibility of retrieving the player now, but it is difficult to get dispensation to get the club loose players after the transfer window is closed. In other countries it is easier to get the club loose players, and it allows Bright to end up in another club in the fall.
But Bryne want to keep the contract with the player in terms of next season.
- We will have a meeting to hear what plans he has, and where we will also register our interest, says Bergersen.

According to a couple of paragraphs in this article, Kris has signed for Maltese side Balzan Youths:
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20110922/football/Hamstring-injury-downs-Mifsud.385839
"Elsewhere, Balzan Youths are hopeful of getting the all-clear to parade their latest signing, striker Kris Bright, in their clash with fellow promoted side Mqabba on Sunday.

Malta? Now I've seen everything - he truely is a walker of the world!
ask Manny about them!
sign him up ricki
Signed for Bryne FK starting early next year in the Adeccoligaen.
May be filling in time playing in Malta (tiny country with mediocre league) if it's true he's going to play in Norway next season (too late to sign for remainder of this season which is nearing the end- Norwegian First Div. or second tier runs early April to early November)

But Balzan regrouped and came agonisingly close to an equaliser on 32 minutes when from a Fernandes free-kick, Kris Bright saw his dipping header hitting the upright before the Wanderers cleared.
Bright was first to a Fernandes corner. He nodded the ball into the path of Ciantar who stabbed home past Bonello.
New Zealand international Kris Bright has joined Maltese outfit Balzan Youths on a short-term deal.
Former Shrewsbury man Bright has linked up Balzan until December before he makes the move to Bryne FK in Norway in January.
Bright has accepted the offer of joining Balzan so that he can maintain his match fitness prior to the move to Bryne.
The 25-year-old has agreed a pre-contract with Bryne and will join the Norwegian second division side in the New Year.
Scored the opening goal in a 1-3 loss to Floriana:

42nd minute Balzan blocked the result. From a corner-kick taken by Fagner Bernardes, Kris William Bright headed home from close range.

Scored for the second game running, this time in a 2-1 win over Tarxien:
Miguel Ciantar sent a cross from the right, which Ryan Mintoff failed to intercept, and unhindered Kris Bright, after chesting the ball, fired a powerful shot beating Cassar.

Kris Bright�s third goal in as many games for Balzan Youths helped his side to a 3-1 win over Marsaxlokk that moves Balzan up to seventh in the Malta Premier League.
The Malta league is the equivalent to the United Soccer 1 league. But good on the lanky lad for having a go.
Another goal for Bright in a 2-1 loss. So far he scored 4 goals in 6 games!
shame he wasnt this prolific at Shrewsbury....
New Zealand striker Kris Bright is rated as doubtful due to a foot problem
With six minutes remaining, jinking run by Bright was beaten out irregularly by Roderick Sammut and from the ensuing free-kick Pedrinho struck a shot high into the net.
Bright call-up
Balzan Youths striker Kris Bright has been named in New Zealand�s provisional squad for the friendly against Canada in London on March 1.
The New Zealand Football Federation have written to Balzan Youths requesting the release of Bright for the period February 27-March 4.

2-1 loss for Bryne FK in the first friendly of the season. Title of the topic should be changed to Bryne instead of Balzan
Bryne play friendly against Start S�rlandshallen Saturday afternoon.
Marius Lode (18), which last week got a new contract offer from Bryne, is scheduled to join the South Coast. Central defender is strongly desired by Bryne, but it remains to be seen if he chooses to enroll transition or take a season to Fr�yland.
Esben Ertzeid, Geir Dahle Highland, Geir Andr� Herrem and Kris Bright will not play against Start. Ertzeid be out a few weeks after the crash at Viking, but the hope is that he is ready to La Manga Stay in week 11
