That Bayliss guy is trialling currently with the Nix. Kiwi heritage living in Aussie. Was with the Jets or CCM briefly?

If I was Emlyn Wellsmore or some other Kiwi in Aus, who thought they had a chance at the Nix, I'd buy a flight over once the NPL season was finished (that happens soon), drive out to the Hutt and ask to train with the team. Nothing lost nothing gained.

I think was Michael Den Hejr (spp) did similar with a Dutch club and he got signed. Sure he's now long back in NZ with ACFC, but he'll never die wondering whether he could have 'made it' overseas.

But I guess alot of Kiwis who might see the Nix as a closed shop/Academy only ALM pathway, will see an Auckland team as a new opportunity. Especially as any 09 club will take time to get any Academy up & going.


I think under National League regulations, any team can add two U-20 players between regional and national league phase. (Rule 27.4) So if there is any U20 players with NZ eligibility in the Aussie state leagues, I think there is a way (via all NL teams not just Phoenix) they can come back and have 9 games in the shop window
