First appearance while at the club a cameo substitution against Japan in Nov 2014, overlooked for the Asian Cup, then Mooy played friendlies against Macedonia and Germany in March 2015 and has of course become a Socceroos regular in WCQs since the 5-0 win against Bangladesh in Sept 2015 when he scored that cracking goal] * Alex Wilkinson - 16 caps [made the bench twice under Ange, in March 2016, while at Melbourne City] Other Internationals * Harry Novillo (has played for Martinique [a non-FIFA country] twice) * Michael Mifsud (played for Malta while at the club) * Iain Ramsay (has played for the Phillipines since leaving the club) * Aaron Hughes (who actually played 2 games for Northern Ireland in March 2016 [53 mins total playing time]).

Although truth be told Malta, Liberia, Northern Ireland, Singapore and Martinique are hardly football powerhouses.. It'll be interesting to see what foreign internationals play for Melbourne City in the future. Can i suggest move this stuff into a separate thread you can update? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Bruce Kamau has been named for the Kenyan national team: Foreign figures named in Harambee Stars squad May 17th 2016 Gilbert Wandera As part of his efforts to strengthen the national Harambee Stars, head coach Stanley Okumbi has invited two foreign players. The invitations to Spain-based Ismail Gonzalez and Bruce Kamau, who plays in Australia, comes at a time that Harambee Stars are preparing to play two international matches. The first match will be on May 27 against Sudan, with the other one, two days later against Tanzania. Both matches will be played at Kasarani. According to Okumbi, Gonzalez, who was born to a Spanish mother and Kenyan father, has accepted the invitation and will link up with Harambee Stars next Monday when they go to camp. But Okumbi revealed that Kamau, who recently joined Australian league side Melbourne City is yet to confirm his availability as he is also considering playing for Australia. The Kenyan coach said it is important for him to have a look at all the available players as he continues to strengthen the team. “I think it is important for us to look at all players available, including the two,” he said. He added: “The talk with Gonzalez has been very positive, while Kamau is yet to make a decision as there are interests for his services elsewhere. I remain optimistic that we will have both of them available for selection in the upcoming friendlies.” Okumbi, at the same time, has revealed he will field a squad of emerging stars for the May 27 match against Sudan. “In the first match, we will field a young squad aged between 20 to 23 years, whom we feel have great potential, but still need to develop, while the second match against Tanzania, will be a full international friendly with all the players available for selection,” he said. The Kenyan Under-20 side will play their Sudan counterparts as a curtain raiser for the match involving their senior teams. Kamau, 21, moved to Australia when he was just four years old. He made his senior professional debut for Adelaide United in the 2014 FFA CUP. One year later, he made his A-league debut against Brisbane Roar and scored his first A-league goal for Adelaide in a 1-0 win away to Melbourne Victory in 2016. At the end of the season, after winning the Premiership and Championship with Adelaide United, Kamau joined Melbourne City, a club he still plays for until today. http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/sports/article/2000202138/foreign-figures-named-in-harambee-stars-squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find any info on him after he left. Maybe ask playmaker, he should know. QUALITY POSTS are his specialty.
