Striker Ben Waine Joins Elite Group of Port Vale Internationals
Forward Ben Waine has joined an elite group of Port Vale internationals after achieving a significant milestone. He made his 25th appearance for the New Zealand national team on Thursday.
Historic Achievement for Port Vale
With this achievement, Waine becomes the 17th player from Port Vale to earn a full international cap. His inclusion in the starting line-up for the friendly match against Poland marks a historic moment, as he is the first New Zealand player to represent the club internationally.
Waine’s Journey at Port Vale
Ben Waine joined Port Vale in the summer transfer window and has quickly established himself. This season, he has made seven competitive appearances for the Valiants.
The current season has been unique for Port Vale, which marks its 150th anniversary. Until now, the club had produced only 16 full internationals in its long history, highlighting the rarity of such achievements.
Recent Developments in International Representation
- Waine’s debut as a Kiwi International adds to Port Vale’s growing list of international players.
- Earlier this month, loan goalkeeper Joe Gauci represented Australia, making it two players with full international caps this season.
This surge in international representation reflects a promising trend for Port Vale as they celebrate their legacy while pushing towards future successes.
