From afar would seem a bit of a toss up between him and Nikko Boxall. Both playing at a pretty similar level and both can slot in at RB in need. Though think de Vries has been playing LB of late.
Both really need guys like Reid & Tim Payne to be unavailable to get a look in. Though for sure if Värnamo get promoted, then do okay in the Swedish top flight in 2022, and de Vries remains a regular starter, he'll be in the coversations no matter what.
Given AWs have barely played under Hay, I'm assuming he's spent many You Tube hours looking to Finnish football, 2nd tier Swedish football, Serie C, the USL etc etc to see the level some of the lower profile Kiwis are at.
