Nix have the academy and reserves team for that purpose.
Can you please enlighten me with me one decent player (not academy) we have signed for our reserves to have a look at in Central/National League before signing for the A-League?
As I see it, if you're a young kiwi player and you have central/national league or FIFA CWC on offer, it's really a no brainer.
LBS was one
Nathan Walker and Dylan? Gardiner two others I think joined the Nix from up north after going to the U17 WC pre, AFC coming into existence
But it’s gonna be harder for the Nix now re grabbing upper NI talent from the NZ U17s. AFC will be targeting those kids as early as age 13-14 for their Academy pathway setup
