Biography

Northland born and bred, Shay's journey in the black shirt has been a long one after making his international debut back in 2009.

The 26-year-old has suffered his fair share of injuries over the past seven years, but he is currently in the form of his life and is one of the fittest players in the squad.

A hard working midfielder, Shay's strengths are his speed, stamina and vision and he certainly has no problem with putting his body on the line in the attacking circle.
