Vanuatu’s international Alex Saniel joins a new club in New Zealand

Alex Saniel is the newest player of Franklin United for 2020 season! The 23 years old forward signed with his new club two weeks ago.

Saniel last played for Papatoetoe AFC in Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Conference, helping his former team to get the promotion for NRFL Division 2. He recently won Pacific Cup playing for Lautoka.

Franklin’s head coach Mark Holt looks very happy with Saniel’s arrival: “He is an exciting player who not only scores goals, but has speed, clever movement and his link play makes him a real handful for any opponent.” he said.

He has represented his country at U17, U20 and Senior level. He made his Senior International debut in November 2017 against Estonia and scored his first goal at that level a month later against New Calendonia.
