Probably something obvious, but how does he get international clearance? I'm definitely missing something, but I thought you basically couldn't sign teenagers from outside Europe?

His parents are from New Zealand.

Ta.

(I still don't know how that helps).

He's now 18, so I think he may be free to join under normal work permit rules.

Yeah, sorry I'm not being clear, my fault. I thought it was hard to sign young non-EEA players because of work permit rules on being established top-level internationals.

Looking it up, as his parents are New Zealand citizens, they should have the right to abode in the UK which would extend to him, which would mean he has the right to live and work in the UK.

There's been a number of changes since Brexit to the work permit rules.

Something I found whilst Googling: https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/n ... 023-06-14/

English clubs will be able to sign a specified number of players who do not meet the points requirements for work permits after the interior ministry approved new criteria for international player visas, the Football Association said on Wednesday.

The new Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) Criteria, effective from the opening of the transfer window on June 14th, will allow Premier League and Championship teams to sign up to four such players. League One and League Two teams will be able to sign two.

So it looks as if we can have two players who would normally fail to get a work permit, but meet a lesser criteria. Not quite sure how the rules work now, but they are detailed here: https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-go ... sed-system

If that's the case, that would easily explain it. A much easier explanation than trying to work out the new work permit rules.

Looked OK in the friendlies, lots to work on but he's a youngster with a good attitude and we need to be looking to sign players like that. I'd expect him to be going between the 23s and the first team squad, and will be involved in the cup games.

Do we have the right to live and work in New Zealand too?

Doesn't work the other way unfortunately
