Napier's 20 yr old Sam Lack. Worthy of a trial at the Nix?

Scoring a few in the Central League, and Auckland had a look at him last year. Squaddie backup to a visa 10?

If not yet the ALM, you'd hope he's the type of promising youngster on the NZ domestic scene, who can get a gig with one of two NZ teams in the upcoming OFC Pro League.

Like so many other talented young players, he would love to one day become a fulltime professional and have football pay his wage.

He had a sniff at it before Auckland FC’s debut season in the A-League, spending three days on trial at the club.
 
It was his first taste of being in a fully professional football environment.

“But on my last day I was a bit unfortunate because I had to pull out of the [trial] game because my shin started playing up,” he said.

“It was quite rough timing, but also a good experience [to have been around an A-League club] at the same time.”

He would love another crack at fulfilling his pro football dream.

In taking the strides he has this season – including being his side’s top scorer – means he’s doing all he can to try to have that dream realised.
