Until you know what his recovery is like you'd be crazy to offer a new deal.

Names escape me, but weren't there 2 up and coming pros who did their ACL playing for NZ and basically never recovered. 1 doing it on debut??

Henry Cameron (still only 27) did he ACL in Oman on AWs debut. He was worthy of a national team callup, having played 10 games in The Championship with Blackpool.

Liam Graham (age 32) also did his ACL playing for the AWs under Hudson. This time in New Caledonia. Graham or Cameron both tried comebacks post their injuries (including stints in the Handy Prem), but neither have played for a long time now.   

Trevor Zwetsloot also did his ACL, with Des's excellent U20 side at the 2019 WC in Poland. His career looks like it's fading out early.

Think all 3 of these guys become club less (well professional club less) soon after their injuries. Big difference between having to soldier on all alone attempting your comeback, as opposed to rehabbing at NZCIS, with it's world class facilities and medical support systems.
