According to the Australia State League thread on this forum it's no mean feat being a Visa Player under the new NPL rules. Eager will be one of few kiwis in the new NPL I'm guessing. He must be on decent money to switch from Northcote cos he was a big hit there, and I reckon he's better off in the NPL than on the Nix roster never playing - he's gaining experience at a good level and has much better exposure to the A-League scouts.
Ah clever lad - very clever player too so that makes sense! I guess there will few other kiwi lads who have duel residency in the NPL then now, which is a shame - Aussies can play here with no disadvantages.
