So folks, where is our next wynton rufer or ryan nelsen coming from?

Consider this a bit of talent scouting on your behalf.  Which New Zealand based footballer is going to be our next big thing?

Ollie Derlin aged 13 ex-Sacred Heart College, Auckland. Son of former NZ Davis Cup player Bruce Derlin.

Has been dividing his time between NZ and Germany recently (his dad coaches tennis in Germany).

Recently signed by Borussia Dortmund youth team:

"...While in Germany six months ago with his father Bruce, a former New Zealand Davis Cup captain who now coaches tennis in Europe, Ollie was scouted while playing for a local club.

He was invited to an open trial and became the first Kiwi to be accepted into a major Bundesliga club. [crap of course  - What about Wynton + Marco + Aaron Lines and Mark Burton who were youth team players at Werder Bremen?]

...An intensive 14-week course to learn the German language also came with the package.

.Derlin played club football in the Auckland suburb of Onehunga under the watchful eye of former All Whites captain Danny Hay.

The holder of a German, Swiss and New Zealand passport, Derlin says that representing the All Whites at a World Cup is a dream of his..."

Oscar Evans aged 17 - son of All Whites legend Ceri Evans. Good pedigree and a talented young fullback.

Coming along well at Cashmere Technical, Christchurch in the Mainland League - my local club. Also Canterbury United ASB Youth League player last summer.

"...But Tech continue to set the benchmark.

Teenage fullback Oscar Evans, a Chatham Cup penalty shootout hero against Ferrymead Bays, carried on his momentum against Nomads.

Evans struck the post with a shot in the 10th and set up Tech's first two goals for striker Ash Wellbourn in the 24th minute and midfielder Shawn O'Brien midway through the second half."

The youngest Mata bou who plays for Onehunga apparently is quality and worth keeping an eye on.

Good to see more and more NZers getting a chance overseas regardless.... they just need to kick on and become a full time pro and not drop off the radar.
