Very popular figure at Minnesota. Fans love his kids coming on at the end of home games kicking the ball around. Basically their first club legend I guess, for a team only formed in 2015. Easily has their most apperances record with 233 games (next best currently 157)

His annual routine of coming back in an Auckland summer for a few months, and Coach Sunz's brutal boot camps (also the AWs fitness trainer) getting him into top physical shape seems to work well. Rarely injured, but yeah he will be 38 in August 2026. Struggled a bit against Mexico, not his best game.

However if the AWs have a veteran CB at the 2026 WC, you'd currently back him over Tommy Smith. Bindon, Surman & Pijnaker look early lockins. Boxall's biggest threat could be someone like Issac Hughes, LKH etc progressing fast over the next 2 years.

Hopefully he is still up to it in 2026, one of the genuinely good guys of NZ football. 

On $USD728K/year ($NZD1.15M) at Minny. So I guess he'll never play for his new hometown club Auckland FC, if him & Minnesota take up the 2026 MLS season option.
