World Cup 2018 Russia

As expected I was selected into the 30 man squad. I have shined in the warm up games, netting a man of match for performance over San Marino

2018 World Cup

So close to getting a draw with Portugal until late winner sunk NZ

Against the World Champions, NZ were never gonna get anything out of the match.

Another injury layoff! 2 months. Will affect my chances getting a loan or game time as I won't be back till September.

2018-2019 Season -5th Season in my career

Still injured and not happy about my contract terms due wanting more promises of first team football.

And still turning them down, getting labelled as a rebel by the media.

Was not available to be loaned out, so was a back up for the first team, made appearances for the team in Champions League, most as a sub but at least I am getting experiences at the highest level

Finally I get given a new contract with a sizable wage boost, tying me down for another 3 seasons.

End of the season saw me make 8 league appearances and 17 total appearances with two goals in all games.
CSKA Moscow did poorly in the league this season, dropping down to eighth. We still qualified for the Europa Cup.

2019-2020 - 6th Season

I would call this season a major break through for me, 24 League appearances, played in all the cup competitions including group stages of Europa Cup. Despite the appearances I am still being used as a sub but at least I am versatile for the manager to be used which means I am often around the first team.

A poor season for CSKA Moscow, 7th in league and crashed out of Europa Cup, only consolidation is the Russia Super Cup, which is now my 4th trophy in my career.

Injury History

Lucky break for me last season, only just picking up the flu.

Played in all of the games and only played well in the Japan game. Brazil went onto winning the trophy.

Oceania Nations Cup 2020

I actually appeared in the last one which NZ won but received no trophy or achievement for some reason(bug?), anyway wanted to point out the assists for this tournament! 6!

Now I will have to adjust to life in the First Division, with many of my team-mates wanting to leave and a long term injury. Going to be a interesting season.​

2021-2022 - 8th Season

Worst Season EVER!

Lets start with NZ being knocked out of World Cup Playoffs by Jamaica

A good riddance as I didn't want to play in Qatar anyway!

Before our promotion campaign even began, I spoke out against the club as I felt they were no longer big in the Russian Leagues due to poor performances and the relegation from the last season.

And oh boy it backfired on me, banished to the U21s and only 3 substitution appearances for the first team for the whole season, putting my regular NZ spot under pressure. And never got transfer listed at all, looks like I will have to walk out on a free after next season.

CSKA Moscow continue to under perform as usual. WTF happened to this club?

Next season looks like to be my last with CSKA Moscow, I won't be accepting another contract and my current one does not expire till Jun 2023. Hopefully I can get more first team football before then to start impressing suitors.

2022-2023 - 9th Season

Last Season at CSKA Moscow
Knowing this was going to be my last season with CSKA Moscow, the manager decided he needed me after all, making 27 appearances for the first team, most of them starting. 3 goals and 8 assists with 1 PoM and an average rating of 6:86.

The media hit out at me early in the season after a few underwhelming performances that caused concern for the club and international selections. But I shut them up with some spectacular games!

At 24 years old, I am starting to reach my peak years and with my contract running out I need to find another club to continue my development. Also I have passed the 50 caps mark with NZ, now on 55 caps and 8 goals!

With July rolling around, I wonder who my next club will be....​
 
Very interested to see where you end up next mate, could be on the verge of something big!
 
01st July 2023

Got released from CSKA Moscow and there was no initial interests in me. Fast forward later in the month, a few Russian clubs are sniffing after me but no offers.

August

Still nothing. Just a few call ups for NZ. Not fazed yet.

September

Nothing! Not even a foreign club is looking.

October

Might have to reconsider my career!

November

Paranoia kicks in! Living in a rundown Moscow apartment now to save money. Will I ever find work again?

December

What has gone wrong with my life? Forever cast aside to play meaningless games for NZ?

01st January 2024

A lifeline! My agent told me Volga NN were interested in me. With tears streaming down my hairy face I promptly accept a contract for half of the money I was earning at CSKA Moscow. Time for me to play in the Russian First Division again!

Injury disrupted my chance to shine for the first team. Only 4 appearances, and 1 goal from my debut. Remember I joined them in January
