Solomon Islands’ young talent Barrie Limoki heads to New Zealand

Barrie Limoki is ready for a new challenge in his football career. The 15-year-old forward is expected to arrive in New Zealand by the end of this month to join his countryman Alden Suri in the Scots College, a college linked to Wellington Phoenix Academy.

It is going to be the second straight year that Scots will count on two players from Solomon Islands. Last year Raphael Lea’i and Leon Kofana received a scholarship to study there but they did not return for 2020 as they wanted to represent Henderson Eels in the 2020 OFC Champions League.
