Been told by a Turkish friend that Raphael Lea'i has completed his transfer to Alanyaspor. What a move
Alanyaspor, who finished 5th of 20 in last year's Super League (ahead of Besiktas and Galatasaray), are struggling this season. Lea'i likely won't play much if at all, but awesome opportunity to grab a bit of gametime and finally develop in a pro environment. Very good facilities apparently
He couldn't make his trial due to visa issues, hence is back in Australia preparing for the OFC U19 Championship, but seems Alanyaspor were willing to take the plunge anyway.
