It has been informed by PRK Gulf Komara FC from Port Moresby on its social media account that the attacker Troy Dobbin will leave the club to pursue overseas challenges in Australia.
“Our very own KOMARA BLOOD Troy Dobbin left this Morning for Brisbane, Australia […] Troy was one of our junior players drafted into Komara in 2019 as a 17 year old. He Left for a few seasons due to studies and returned to the Club last season, 2023“, wrote Komara on its social media.
Dobbin is set to join Lions FC in Brisbane; the club currently plays in the National Premier League in Queensland region and is a well-known club in the competition. Currently Lions is sitting second in the table of the NPL Queensland just three points behind the top-placed side.
The forward has international experience for his country playing for the U23 team and most recently he made his full international debut for Papua New Guinea in the FIFA Series in Sri Lanka where the Kapuls played against the hosts and the Central African Republic, drawing 0-0 against Sri Lanka and losing by 4-0 to the African side; Dobbin played in both of the games.
It is a rare opportunity for a local-developped player in the country to pursue a career overseas – the first step into professionalism. It comes down now to the development of Dobbin in Brisbane in order to excel in his career and open the door for more Papua New Guineans to arrive in semi-pro NPL system.
