Breda travel to Zwolle on 18th March. Hopefully by then Garbett is a starter for Breda, and we get a Kiwi matchup. The old midfield dog against the young pup. Both versatile players who don't score as much as we would hope! Early days of course for Garbett, but similar in a way.
A 20 yr old Thomas made a name for himself in the Dutch Cup, and next week Breda host top tier Heerenveen (Rojas's old club) in a Round of 16 tie.

The 20-year-old midfielder will come over from Torino FC on a rental basis until the end of the season. Matthew immediately joins the group training. NAC has stipulated an option to purchase.
Garbett played in New Zealand in his younger years, including in Wellington. In 2020 he was transferred to the Swedish Falkenbergs FF. After a year and a half in Sweden, he moved to Torino, where he was part of the Under 19 team. Last October he made his official debut in the first team of Torino FC. Nine minutes before the end, he came on in the Coppa Italia match against Cittadella.
NAC has a young midfielder who is comfortable on the ball in Matthew Garbett. Matthew likes to attack, but he is not afraid of defensive work either; a so-called box-to-box player.
At the age of 19 he made his debut with the New Zealand national team. He started in the starting line-up in the 1-2 win against Curaçao. To date, he has already played twelve international matches for New Zealand. Because Matthew also has a French passport, he falls outside the non-EU scheme.
Welcome to NAC, Matthew.
