With 83 games Will sits second on the ladder (current squad) for all time appearances for Auckland United FC, and we thank him for all his efforts and the mark he has left on the club.

A key piece of our U23 team, Kazik was also part of the title winning U17 National Youth League squad last year in Wellington. After returning from an injury midway through this season we have worked with Kazik to look for more Senior playing opportunities for the rest of the season and we wish him all the best at Metro AFC.
