I am very surprised Gagame Feni hasn't been playing for the Phoenix reserves. He is eligible for NZ now and has been the top goal scorer at Secondary school nationals the past two years and still has one more year left at Nayland College. Has scored for Canterbury United and is now a regular in their starting line up. Has an x-factor a lot of New Zealand strikers don't have. I am pretty sure he hasn't even trained with the Phoenix before yet so many other New Zealand youngsters have. He'd be getting my vote for the YF scholarship.
2 goals for Canterbury this year. Some x-factor.
3, one against Phoenix reserves. To be fair he had limited opportunity until he scored at Trafalgar Park. But his goal scoring record at secondary school level is far and beyond any other teenage striker in NZ (who is still playing in NZ). You mentioned a lot of players Hardnews, I just don't understand how they can dominate college stuff then just fade off in to national league stars or starters only.
