I think it meant to express dismay as to how a Serb-sounding name is more Aussie than Kiwi.

Played most of his club football in the Wiakato representing Force 3 at u13 and u14 level Represented NZ U13 team that toured Australia
Transfered to Central and played u15 for Auckland at Napier
Parents moved to Townsville for work opportunties. Maori mother Croatain father I think
Within 6 months was representing North Queensland and drafted into the FUNDED Queensland Institude of sport system
Would be available for the current NZ U17team

But seeing as he's played for Aussie yoof sounds like he's not part of our set-up at the moment

He went to Hamilton Boys High School,
Was a very talented young attacking midfield player(technically one of the better boys around). Big things were expected of him at the school until he up and moved.
Not surprised to hear he is doing well over in Aus.

So is he has been in touch with anyone in NZ about his possible footballing future?

yep that pretty much sums it up - our son caught up with him earlier this year in Bris and he was been doing really well with QIS so does not surprise us. Big strappy lad too with plenty of growth in him yet.

Right now he is at the queensland academy of sport and might be a good option as a right back (centre back who can play as a right back) for NZ at the olympic qualifiers:
