This is a significant removal of a barrier to entry for young Kiwi's hoping to play football in England. Previous to this you'd need a British passport or a requisite number of points to satisfy Work Permit criteria. Having looked at the previous bands/points needed to reach these thresholds, it was essentially impossible as a New Zealander to get in to the system without that British passport...
There is no 100% certainty to this, but it could potentially mean we see a few more Kiwi's make their way to England in the long run. 🤞
