Think it was MetalLegNZ that first mentioned on here that he was New Zealand born. Although I'd imagine that he would probably have acquired an Aussie passport to get this deal across the line. 

Good luck to the kid. At least puts him in the frame for possible inclusion in the U20 World Cup squad, although he's probably fighting a time crunch on that front.

Named in the extended squad to take on Peninsula Power in Australia Cup action tonight in Brisbane.

The extended squad is in for tomorrow night's @AustraliaCup clash against Peninsula Power!

Not travelling.

Not travelling.

Ahh, that's a shame. Would have been good to have a proper look and see what he's about.

Unfortunately picked up a slight injury the other day... shame as he was pushing for a spot in the FFA Cup game and if not that, looking to put his best foot forward with the NZ u19 Squad.
