an extra import spot might come in useful

pretty sure he becomes a kiwi for the 2020/21 season. He would be 32 by the start of that season, so it depends on whether he still has his pace by then to determine whether he'll still be around. I certainly hope he's still here by then. 32 isn't crazy old, and the fact that he only started playing professionally when he was 25 or 26 means he probably hasn't had the physical wear and tear of your average 30 year old pro. Would make him one of the greatest nix legends of all time too, even though he probably already is to be honest

Just look at how long Smeltz lasted.  He lost the speed towards the end but not his eye or his touch; and was an excellent late sub.
