I try and follow whats up in NZ football but know nothing about this Hicks guy. Anyone got a summary.....age, position, attributes and back ground. Thanks!
Early/mid twenties, born in UK & played as teenager for Gravesend (I think). Played here for East Coast Bays, ACFC, Waikato (I think). Then a year and half ago disappeared to Wellington for business reasons and seemed to spend a season/ year out of the game. "Educated left foot" (JV), an attacking mid who keeps the ball moving. Slight build, was highly rated at Auck City (possibly hastening Coombes/Mulligan's departure to Waitak) ... got some gametime for NZ A ... that's about it from me.

"He's got a very educated left foot, he's very clever, very good technique and he's got surprisingly good endurance," Merrick said.
