History for coochiee

Season over in Swedish 2nd tier. Unfortunately Värnamo (1st & promoted) & the Kiwis don't get the finish the want with a 1-2 home loss to Norrby (4th).Stevens an unused sub & de Vries full game.

Norrby with the higher game day motivation, as they were chasing 3rd spot (promotion playoff), but even with the win suffer heartbreak of missing playoff spot on GD.

Värnamo still win league clearly by 6 points, from GIF Sundsvall (2nd also promoted). FYI - Matt Garbett's former club Falkenbergs (last) got relegated to 3rd tier. Consecutive relegations for them, polar opposite of Värnamo with back to back promotions.

Presumably de Vries will be back at small town club Värnamo, next season showing his stuff in the Swedish top flight.

Over 30 match season, he was in 28 match day squads, with 23 starts. I think it was early season when he was on the bench, so ever present as they chased promotion, 2nd half of season. 1 goal recently in the game they sealed promotion, plus an AWs cap. Dream year!
