Settling into a concerning pattern again, he just needs to be playing. By my count he's played just over 560 minutes of first team football in the past 12 months, technically across three teams. I wonder at what point would he be better off playing either NPL or National League

Makes the flak Chief got for not playing him look off the mark if he hasnt been able to get game time elsewhere. Bloody shame  i liked him,agree maybe time for him to have a rethink. Then again he might be enjoying the experiences he is having albeit without playing. 

He was injured alot at Sligo in Ireland. No idea what's happening in Canada, but suspect if he's not even on the bench with Valour it's another niggle.

Good enough you'd think for the OFC Pro League, if any of the 2 NZ clubs or even the Island teams (they have visa spots) were interested.

Nothing final game. Valour (6th) travel to Pacific (7th)

Valour win 4-1.

No OVH. What now for him?
OFC Pro League?

No games, no goals. No goals, no games.

Valour FC have folded - was OVH still there?

Well if he was he's now unemployed.

OFC Pro League as a next stop?

He should join South Island United

He may well do, was snapped at the Nix game yesterday so he's in the country.

Think that's a good move for him. He will get a lot of game time as one of the more experienced players.

An article for Big Pete, and OVH's dad if he is still on here.

One of my first footballing memories is watching Zealandia thrash Onslow seniors by 10 goals at Nairnville Pk. To a six yr old they looked like enormous supermen.
