A Taiga in Blacktown?

Ah ... well, it's probably escaped from a zoo

I'm keen to see him play in the upcoming NPL season. If he plays well, he could be the 2nd choice goalkeeper? 

He played for Kashiwa Reysol Under 18's squad which finished 4th in the league. He did get called up to the senior squad during the Emperor's cup (which is like the Australian Cup but in Japan) but he was on the bench so he didn't play that game.
