There was still a small glimmer of hope that Racing Louisville might make the playoffs entering the final round of the regular season, despite their inability to ever find a consistent run of form.

Every game he plays is an opportunity for Chris Wood to score goals. The form he has been in lately, the opposition doesn’t even matter. Chelsea. Tahiti. Malaysia. Crystal Palace. No dramas in sight.

Phil Neville promised that he’d get Finn Surman some game time before the year was through. He went on record stating his intent. It was looking dicey there for a while but, folks, it turns out Phil Neville is a man of his word

The Woodsman scores goals wherever he goes. After rustling the net against Chelsea, he’s now got four goals in seven matches this Premier League season. Comfortably on track to hit double-figures for the sixth time in his career

Another week and another Football Fern signing in the English Championship. Last time it was Michaela Foster joining Durham, this time it’s Jacqui Hand re-emerging from the wilderness with Sheffield United

The new Women’s Super League season is underway in England but nothing has changed as far as CJ Bott is concerned. If she sees the ball, she’s still going to win the ball

All goals are good goals but some goals just hit on a whole different level, leaving you to wonder how exactly the net managed to stay hooked on when faced with the force of a ballistic missile

The Women’s Champions League is a beacon on the horizon every season and at a minimum the qualifying stages usually serve up a few kiwi interests. Vic Esson and Rangers were one of those interests this year... but the draw was not kind to them

So that’s where Sarpreet’s got to. After escaping a very lame situation in Germany with Hansa Rostock thanks to a conveniently-placed relegation release clause, he’s ended up in the second division of Portuguese football with one of Jose Mourinho’s old clubs

Elijah Just has gotten his transfer and it’s not a move that anyone saw coming. Back in March he was heavily linked to Swedish top division side IFK Goteborg, who were then being managed by the coach who signed him for AC Horsens in the first place...

Not so long ago, Ben Old was battling through recurring injuries for the Wellington Phoenix just trying to stay fit for long enough to show what he’s capable of. Now he’s New Zealand’s second-ever French Ligue 1 player

The last few months have put Liberato Cacace in a state of uncertainty. A new Empoli manager has been appointed yet Cacace missed much of preseason due to the Oceania Nations Cup, meanwhile his contract has entered its final year with plenty of rumoured clubs circling around him with curiosity

After two games off the bench, including last week when he popped up to assist a 90+5th minute winner, Elijah Just found his way to a recall and responded with the decisive moment in the match.

The time has come for Matt Dibley-Dias to spread his wings. He’s made it onto the bench a couple of times for Fulham in the Premier League. He captained the U21 side to the Premier League Cup title a few months ago…

These things don’t tend to stay secret for very long, so by the time Finn Surman was unveiled as a Portland Timbers player we’d already known what was coming. Yet another Wellington Phoenix player moving to a top tier league around the world

Ben Old got to France before his Aotearoa Olympic squadmates in order to take care of a little bit of business. Just the small matter of signing a four year contract with AS Saint-Étienne... with an option for a fifth

Despite rumours a few months ago that Anna Leat was on the verge of leaving Aston Villa at the end of her contract, she’s ended up re-signing after all. Contracted for the 2024-25 season with an option to extend that for a further year

Three months and a few broken ribs later, Nando Pijnaker has returned to the pitch for Sligo Rovers and not a moment too soon. He’d gotten hurt in the second half of a 3-0 loss against St Patrick’s Athletic and had to miss 13 matches while he recovered

It has been confirmed. For the second time in a month, a New Zealand footballer has signed with an English Premier League club

In her first season in Europe, Malia Steinmetz has helped FC Nordsjælland to their first ever Kvindeliga title. Last season it was Daisy Cleverley’s HB Køge that were lifting this trophy, this season a different Football Ferns midfielder got to put her fingerprints all over it.
