I thought it would be nice to have a thread to talk about Islanders who are playing overseas, not including Australia, NZ or other Island countries. I guess I'm not the only one here interested in the development of the other Oceanian sides, especially as this would mean better opposition in OFC tournaments that could only be good for NZ.
I've made a list myself, feel free to add any info
Georges Gope-Fenepej (New Caledonia): He signed for Amiens when they were in Championnat National (French 3rd tier) but after only two seasons they've been promoted to Ligue 1 for the first time in their history. Gope-Fenepej played 13 times (only 3 starts) last season in Ligue 2. Maybe a new chance for him to play again in Ligue 1? IMO he will be loaned to a Ligue 2 club rather sooner than later
César Zeoula (New Caledonia): He was a regular starter for Stade Lavallois in Ligue 2 but it seems like he lost his place in the first team around mid season and in 2017 was loaned to Créteil-Lusitanos. Laval were relegated after finishing bottom last season. Was on the bench on their debut game against Concarneau
Wesley Lautoa (New Caledonia): Lorient were relegated from Ligue 1 so he was transfered to Dijon. Got injured in their last game. Does anyone know if he ever represented NC internationaly? He apparently made 15 appearances for Les Cagous but I can't find anything that proves it. I think he's a similar case to Marama Vahirua, would only play for NC if they make it to the Confeds or the World Cup
Mickael Partodikromo (New Caledonia): Playing for Rushall Olympic in the Northern Premier League. Seems weird that a francophone would travel all the way to England just to play in such a low division when he could be playing in NZFC or an Australian regional league
Jorys Mène (New Caledonia): Plays in Borain Francos, a Belgian 5th tier team
Nigel Dabinyaba (Papua New Guinea): He's the top goal scorer (4 goals in 16 matches) for Malaysain side Penang who currently sit on the bottom of the table with only 3 matches won in 18 played. They are 3 points away from avoiding relegation but there are only 4 matches left
David Browne (Papua New Guinea): This lad has a really detailed article in Wikipedia. Last season he made 20 appearances for U21 Groningen in Dutch 3rd tier
Alwin Komolong (Papua New Guinea): He just made his debut with Stuttgarter Kickers in German Regionalliga Südwest
Felix Komolong (Papua New Guinea): Playing college football for Northern Kentucky Norse in the USA
Brad McDonald (Papua New Guinea): After getting released from Central Coast Mariners, he joined Davao Aguilas in the Philippines. They are seventh in Philippines top division with 5 points from 5 draws and 7 loses. They are yet to win a match this season
Scott Wara (Fiji): Playing for Stoke City U18s. He's elegible for England but was called in the latest Fijian squad. Only 17 so plenty of potential
Leroy Jennings (Fiji): He's with Wrexham reserves (senior side plays in the National League, England's 5th tier). Was born in Sydney but played for Fiji U20. According to Oceania FC he declined a call to play for Fiji's senior side
Bong Kalo (Vanuatu): He's the one who scored against Mexico and twice against Germany in the U20 World Cup. Is on trial with Spanish side Deportivo Leganés
Special mention to Fijians Ilimotama Jese, William Valentine, Tevita Waranaivalu, Misaele Draunibaka and Kishan Sami who are all on trial with Vancouver Whitecaps. Also American Samoa had 8 players in their 2015 squad who were based in the USA, but probably they are all Americans who have relatives in Samoa so were invited to play rather than proper Samoans who made it to the USA to play football
