They will be situated at basically opposite ends of Blighty, but I'm sure The Woodsman & Waine will be having regular phone chats. Was apparent with the AWs earlier this year, Wood was basically coaching Waine one on one in trainings, the Oman game reportedly etc. Potential heir apparent
I imagine the big piece of advice will be patience, and just turning up every day at training, giving your best. Took Wood nearly 10 seasons (and lots of loan deals) in the UK before he had his breakout campaign with Leeds in the Championship in 2016/17 (27 goals in 44 games).
Waine may never never get to EPL standard, but even if he became a regular goal scorer in League One or The Championship, that would be excellent for the future of the AWs & NZ Football. Seems a well communicated & thought through move. Long way to go. Patience.
