I would not get too excited. Bedworth is a small village in the UK with a population about the size of the Wairarapa and the play in front of an average croud of around 200 and are near the bottom of 7th Tier.  

Hope he enjoys, but would suggest he has probably given up on progressing his football to any meaningful level.

It's true that Bedworth play in the third tier of non-league football (Southern League Premier Division) or 7th over-all nationally.

But Bedworth is a sizeable enough town of 32,268

Close to Coventry (9 km), Birmingham (31 km), Leicester, Warwick and Nuneaton.

On the M6 motorway and Coventry rail link and growing fast as a dormitory town for its larger neighbours.

A 15 minute rail ride to Coventry.

32k sounds like a decent number by NZ standards Pete, but here in the UK that's quite small. Plymouth has a population of 256k but really gets more then 8/9k at home games.
