Snip: It's not that the Kinetic Electrical Hawke's Bay United soccer player is trying to disguise his eccentricity in any way because his slick hairdo gives it away. "I've this religious thing going on," says the 25-year-old midfielder from Seattle, turning up his sleeve to reveal a guardian angel on his right bicep before turning his left arm to display a cross on the inner side. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503460&objectid=11161577 He's an '88; can't link to his profile on the team site directly, but you can find it easily enough. http://www.hbunited.co.nz/ Played at Seattle U.

Now with WaiBOP United: After an opening first 20 minutes in which the visitors threatened several times, the hosts went ahead through a superb Sean Morris strike. The American midfielder found himself with a good angle 25 metres out from goal and he drilled his shot just inside the post, leaving the Phoenix goalkeeper Oliver Sail with no chance. https://www.sunlive.co.nz/news/120049-waibop-season-ends-on-high.html Joined in January from Sweden -- one we (even @iamalfred! ) apparently missed there: We are pleased to announce we have completed the signing of midfielder, Sean Morris, from Swedish club Tranas FF. http://www.waibopunited.co.nz/player-signing-sean-morris/
His tale seems to have moved to Canterbury: The midfielder debuted for Canterbury in Sunday's last gasp 3-2 victory over Tasman United in Nelson, playing the final 10 minutes off the bench. Morris, who is representing his fifth New Zealand national league side, was snapped up during the January transfer window by coach Willy Gerdsen, who had tried to sign him for the start of the season. His previous stints have been with Hawke's Bay United, Auckland City, Team Wellington and defunct WaiBop United last season, having arrived in Wellington in 2013 to work at the Ole Football Academy. http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-heral...-a-fond-memory-for-well-travelled-Sean-Morris
Now with something called FC Twenty11: FC Twenty11 scored twice in the closing minutes to salvage a 2-2 draw with bottom placed Universities at Ilam Fields. Universities looked set to pick up just their second win of the MPL season, but were thwarted by late strikes from Callum Smith and Canterbury United's American midfielder Sean Morris. Morris whipped the ball in from a free kick deep in stoppage time to leave the students frustrated. http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/sp...top-of-mpl-after-draw-with-cashmere-technical
Congratulations, Sean: American midfielder Morris, who played for Canterbury United last season and is expected to return for the 2017-18 campaign, was judged men's player of the year, and best midfielder in the Mainland Premier League. Morris scored seven goals for Avonhead-based FC Twenty11, who finished fifth in the eight-team premier competition. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/footb...ris-crowned-mainland-football-players-of-year

Alfacar 0-3 CDAC#cdac#cdalmuñècarcity— CD Almuñecar City (@CDAlmunecarCity) September 16, 2018 CD Almuñécar city is the brand new professional Fútbol team starting for the 2017/18 season. Owned and operated by FC Málaga City academy, giving players the chance to progress. We are the first “start up soccer” club in Spain, bringing in former Academy players from all over the world who are looking to get back into the professional game. CD Almuñécar are an English speaking football team with players from all corners of the globe. We are here to represent the international community of Almuñécar . We have players from every continent who will accurately represent the local international population, and we’ve made sure it is a team capable of doing the town proud. In preseason the side has beaten teams from much higher levels, including a thrilling 4-1 win over Estepona, recently in Segunda B. Although the Spanish FA have said we have to start at the bottom of the Spanish game, the players, the coaches and the facilities in Almuñécar are more than ready to play at the National level, which is why we need your help. I believe the club is in the 6th tier in Spain.

Can someone remind me what's going on here? Is this a thing where you can pay to pay/train/study at Malaga City, and then possibly move up to Almuñecar City (or elsewhere)?
