Young Kiwis Outside the UK

 

 

 

 

 

Perth's Howard Fondyke then saw a shot saved while impressive Glory winger Storm Roux produced a spectacular run down the left before passing to second-half substitute Sahr Musa, who was narrowly flagged offside when in a good position to run into goal.

 

 

 

 

Michael James Fitzgerald ("Michael James") is a young New Zealander who has lived in Japan for quite a while. I dont know the exact details of how he arrived here but I do know that he was here from an early age (ie, a minor). But the most important point is that he does not belong to Zweigen Kanazawa. He is an Albirex Niigata player who has been loaned to Zweigen to give him experience. So although he might be getting some sort of compensation direct from Zweigen, I am fairly sure that he is being paid by Albirex.

Michael James is half New Zealander, half Japanese. He attended school in Japan. He keeps connections to his New Zealand nationality as he would be MUCH more likely to be called to that national team than Japan's, but would consider taking Japanese nationality at any time as opposed to having a "child of Japanese national" visa that allows him more or less a normal life in Japan.

So, you see that there is always a connection there. Foreigners can't get in without one.

James's Zweigen Kanazawa also is a nearly or fully professional team. Takafumi Akahoshi, who played well for Mito in 2008 before going back to Urawa for 2009, had a chance to come back to Mito after being released. He went to Kanazawa instead... because the money was better.

 

 

 

 

 

Actually no. I tried to get in touch with them but it didn't work unfortunately. Hopefully somebody at NZF knows about this young kiwi talents...

In addition to the players you've mentioned, they've also acquired Thai international striker Sarayoot Chaikamdee from Thai Port FC, who was 4th on the TPL goalscoring charts with 13 goals (30 match season). Samuel Ajayi, who is already with the club, is a fantastic forward too, although his finishing can be wayard. If Samuel improves his conversion rate, Smith could have a tough time cracking the starting XI. However, he should get plenty of opportunities, as BG should go deep into the cup competitions. They'll probably also defend their Singapore Cup title, having been the first non-Singaporean team to win it this year.

 

 

SC Cambuur and Telstar surprising defeats today in friendly matches against amateur clubs. The Frisians lost visiting zaterdagtopklasser HHC Hardenberg, while Telstar during training camp in Spain even shamefully losing Saturday league Excelsior Maassluis.

HHC Hardenberg took in the first half of the brutal leadership. Two goals from Renco of Eeken led to a 2-0 lead at number five for the rest of the Top Class Saturday at the amateurs. SC Cambuur after half time through Sandor van der Heide and Nassir Maachi again on the same level. Less than ten minutes from time but shot Wesley Wakker inside and so did the 3-2 win HHC Hardenberg.

Telstar left the field in Spain with head bowed. The White Lions were humiliated by Excelsior Maassluis namely, an average performer in the A league of amateurs Saturday. Ex-prof and former Arsenal Sieme Zijm talent Vincent Bergeron put Excelsior Maassluis in Marbella a 2-0 lead. Sezer Bozkurt knew after halftime to score twice in Maassluis and Javier Brouwer also affected even more. In between Telstar still managed to score twice against, so it was 5-2 for the amateurs. Test Player Corey Chettleburgh was among the scorers for Telstar.

 

 

 

 Chettleburgh keert terug bij Sparta Rotterdam, om als amateur bij de beloften mee te trainen. De Nieuw-Zeelander moest onlangs vertrekken bij de club, maar heeft nog geen nieuwe club gevonden. Dat meldt RTV Rijnmond. De verdediger zal, indien nodig, ook inzetbaar bij competitiewedstrijden van Jong Sparta zijn.
