Good age, good record, speaks English, won't care about Wellington weather.  Seems perfect.  Only question is why he's leaving the UK when there must be plenty of interest in him still.  I can see him and Ball as a classic front two in a 4-4-2.  Just hope he won't take too long to get up to match fitness

It seems like a lot of players who go through the Scottish/English league grind get to their early thirties and just want something different - he may be similar.

My only concern is around injuries and fitness. He recently (`9 months ago) had recurring injuries and surgery. I remember Ifill came with similar issues and he did OK though.
