Roy Krishna (born 20 August 1987 in Labasa) is a Fijian association football player, who currently plays as a striker for Waitakere United in the New Zealand Football Championship.

[edit] Club career

Krishna joined NZFC side Waitakere United from Fijian local outfit Labasa FC in January 2008.

In May 2008, the talented youngster spent two weeks training with the Wellington Phoenix.^[1]

As of March 2009, Krishna has been lined up by PSV Eindhoven.^[2] However, Wellington Phoenix are said to be his preferred option because he feels at this time, he is not ready to move to Europe. Krishna is also reluctant to learn Dutch as he is still grasping the English language.

[edit] International career

Krishna made his debut for Fiji at the South Pacific Games 2007 and he has played for them in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament.^[3]
