Mainlander through & through. Ashvegas!

Great signing. Been scoring well at NPL level enough to get a trial at the Jets, and maybe if he wasn't I'm guessing a visa player in Aus, they might have picked him up.
Hopefully this OFC League is a shop window for him.

“The other attraction, of course, is moving back to my roots, close to Ashburton where I played all my junior football,” says Feutz, who still has grandparents and other family living in Mid-Canterbury.

Father Greg Feutz is a legend in Canterbury football circles, winning the Golden Boot and Mainland Premier League with Nomads United, and he is still banging in goals on a regular basis in the Masters leagues in Wellington.

With father Greg on the sidelines, Ryan Feutz recalls his early days on a frosty Ashburton Domain, playing for the Collegiate club, and representing Mid-Canterbury.

At the age of 12, Feutz was offered a trial with Spanish academy CF Cracks and ended up in Spain for a year, including a stint at professional club Levante.

“But I never played an official game with them because I was too young under FIFA rules, so came back to New Zealand to join the Olé Academy,” says Feutz.

He stayed at the academy until he was 19 before moving to Eastern Suburbs to play National League, with fellow South Island United signing Josh Rogerson.

The two players then spent a season together at Torslanda IK in the Swedish second tier................
