Cedergren on Probert
“Connor brings a lot of high level experience with him to Lexington.  He played for the U-17 New Zealand National Team in the past World Cup.  He is a very exciting player, who has been called the best attacking player in New Zealand for his age.  We expect Connor to come in and compete for time playing in any of the front four positions.”
