Playing football over in Indonesia was an amazing experience. From all the great people involved throughout the country to the atmosphere the fans create week-in and week-out.

I will always be grateful for having played in Indonesia and to all the people who helped and offered guidance when needed.

The APPI have been a great asset to me as a player. They helped with the issues I had during my time in the Country, things that were never apparent before arriving. All my queries and problems have since been resolved and it is no doubt that the APPI had a big hand in helping the process and resolving my problems.

To all the players involved with football all over the world, it is organisations like ‘the APPI’ that give us a voice and the platform we need to help resolve issues that arise throughout our careers.
