 * Keep - whilst he has never played in a professional league, he has 12 senior caps so meets #1 of NFOOTBALL. Whilst I'm aware that NFOOTBALL is only a presumption of notability, by consensus, we have always kept internationally capped players at AfD as long as the caps are verified by reliable sources, as is the case here.

 * Comment. If it's so obvious that he should pass GNG, why haven't any SIGCOV sources been added to the article? What's there right now is a very shallow routine match report and coverage of the Three Nations Cup that doesn't mention him at all. His contributions being described in the play-by-play of a match is decidedly routine and shouldn't contribute to SIGCOV even when all the coverage is combined, but that's all I'm seeing so far with my own search: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Are there any specific offline newspapers that would be providing actual SIGCOV here? JoelleJay (talk) 02:07, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
