Nice work. But again a real shame each ALM club isn't allowed one OFC (non NZ) spot. He'd be better to spend 1-3 seasons in a ALM environment before venturing to Europe a bit older & wiser.

Raphael Lea’i on trial with European professional club
Raphael Lea’i is on his way to Europe. It has been reported that the 19-year-old Solomon Islands’ rising star will spend two months training with FK Velež Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina before going on trial with top flight club in Turkey, Antalyaspor. If successful, he will sign his first professional contract.

This is the second time Raphael has travelled to Europe to get a chance as a professional footballer. The first, in August last year, had a negative outcome as he was not allowed to enter Turkey due to a visa problem. Now, five months later, he returns to Europe to pursue his dream of becoming a professional footballer.
