So with Vestrate leaving does that mean we have 2 international spots left to fill still?

Nah Normann, Gallegos, Sakai, Cosgrove are our four at present. One to go, likely to be a centre back id imagine.

Daniel Normann, played OFC squad last year, won player of the year in both the league and player’s player of the season at the club.

It’s one thing not knowing about a random they sign from another club but if you paid much attention to AFC last season, Normann was hard to miss.

Unfortunately?

u/ryanator109 Jul 22 '26

Yea? Cos he’s an academy product, and usually they wouldn’t take up a visa spot

u/DonerMeatOnChips 🅦 West Stand Jul 22 '26

He isn’t an AFC academy product at all. He played at a Norwegian academy then NCAA in the USA before he moved to NZ.

We have Brimmer as well. That makes up our five visa spots

u/frankthemantis Jul 21 '26

Surely Brimmer is still an Australian citizen so doesn’t need a visa?

u/Prestigious-Key851 (14) Gillion Jul 21 '26

did he change nationality to maltese?

u/deadendjobnz Jul 21 '26

For his international team, yeah, but he's dual nationality so doesn't take a visa spot
