Chettleburgh's Contract Status Explained

Cory Chettleburgh's contract with Sparta Rotterdam has been clarified by a piece in the Manawatu Standard.

Cory has been awarded a one year deal but that will be extended if he can make 5 appearances for the first team. More details here. Chettleburgh has been in the country for just three weeks but has been training with the first team squad and has played for the reserve team.

Certainly one to watch with interest and a positive for him and NZ under age teams for whom this international experience should prove invaluable.
