Was wondering when we'd see this. Nix were always on about competition in the goalkeeping department last year, specifically with Duncan pushing Paulsen to be his best and retain his spot.
Slightly different scenario this time around with not having a hell of a lot of experience between Oluwayemi, AKH, and now Boon. But with Oluwayemi being the #1, at least having AKH and Boon battling it out for the 2nd keeper spot will drive some of that competition that the club is so keen to foster.
Can't speak much on his qualities as have only seen snippets of him in action, but if he was worth a punt for Roda JC then this is a good scholarship pick up for us. Only getting a one year scholarship indicates to me that he's got more to do to prove his worth, but I'm happy to see another Kiwi get a pro deal.
