Young Ba defender Kishan Sami has signed up with the Manukau United FC in Auckland, New Zealand yesterday.

The 20-year-old has represented the Vodafone national football side 13 times.

“This level of experience and composure holds Kishan in good stead as this will be his first time playing for a club outside of Fiji,” stated the club in a press release.

“Kishan’s fitness, ability to learn, and his game understanding are some of his strengths and we see bigger things on the horizon for this young player. He has turned out for Ba in the OFC Champions League and has aspirations of his own that would make his family proud.

“We are excited to see Kishan working extremely hard up and down the flanks and being one of a multitude of Fijian players plying their trade at the proudly diverse Manukau United.”

The other two Fijian players who are yet to sign up are Ba’s Malakai Rakula and goalkeeper Mohammed Alam.
