Oliver "Oli" Sail is a New Zealand professional footballer who currently plays for Wellington Phoenix as a goalkeeper. He also has been selected for the New Zealand national football team.
Club career
Wanderers SC
Sail started his career playing for Wanderers SC,[1] a special club set up to develop players for the New Zealand national under-20 football team.[2][3]
Auckland City
In 2013, Sail joined Auckland City[4] but wouldn't debut until the following year in the semi-final of the 2013–14 ASB Premiership, when he replaced Tamati Williams in Auckland City's 4–1 victory over its classic rival Waitakere United.[5]
Wellington Phoenix
Sail joined Wellington Phoenix to be part of their new reserves team playing in the ASB Premiership.[6]
On 3 March 2017, Sail signed his first senior contract, penning a two-year deal with Wellington Phoenix.[7]
On 25 March 2018, Sail made his A-League debut against Brisbane Roar in a 2–2 draw.[8]
International career
U-20
Though Sail was picked for the New Zealand U-17 team in 2013, he didn't get on the pitch.[9][10] He was then picked for the New Zealand U-20 team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup played in New Zealand, making his debut in the 0–0 draw against Ukraine. He then started again in the 4–0 loss to the United States three days later.[10]
Senior
In 2014, Sail was called-up to New Zealand's senior squad for two friendlies against China and Thailand,[11] but he was unused in both matches.[12]
