BirminghamThe 23 players of Afghanistan's women's football team who now live abroad, have travelled to New Zealand for a training camp and to play two unofficial friendly games against the Cook Islands.

It means the academy players not involved – including the likes of Gibraltar international James Scanlon, midfielder Jack Moorhouse, who spent the first half of last season at Leyton Orient, and Gabriele Biancheri, who was at Rotherham, will have to seriously consider their next moves. Australia full-back James Overy also falls into that group.
Azeem Abdulai has targeted joining new Hibernian teammate Josh Mulligan in the Scotland squad after his transfer from Leyton Orient. The Glasgow-born 23-year-old started as a youth with Celtic, but it was with Swansea City that he first tasted senior football. Abdulai hopes the switch from England's League One to playing alongside the likes of Mulligan will improve his chances of international recognition.
