Glen Moss

Early career

Moss made his senior debut with Sydney Olympic of the NSL, appearing in three games of the competition's final season. Having e-mailed the eight inaugural clubs of the A-League, Moss received interest from New Zealand Knights, who signed him to a one-year contract having watched him play for Sydney Olympic. Moss was back-up to Danny Milosevic in his only season with the Knights, making seven starts, as well as coming on at half-time twice. New Zealand finished with just 6 points in their inaugural season, and Moss's contract was not renewed after the season. Impressing over the summer with the national team, Moss signed on a free transfer with Dinamo București of Romania. Moss made his debut for Dinamo in first round of qualification for the UEFA Cup, starting both legs against Maltese club Hibernians in July. Moss started the league opener against Național București on 30 July, but was replaced by Florin Matache for the club's next games. Having hovered between second and third-choice in the first half of the season, Moss sought out of Romania during the winter break, calling the move abroad a "disaster". Moss was instead the only senior keeper to stay on, and was firmly third-choice for the second half of the season as Dinamo went on to win their 18th title.

Moss was raised in Australia, and was not on the radar for New Zealand internationally until his origins were shared with a reporter while Moss was at Sydney Olympic. Moss has earned national selection at Under-20, Under-23 and All Whites international level. He was selected for the U-23's in 2004 to compete in the 2004 OFC Men's Olympic Football Tournament, the qualification tournament for the 2004 Summer Olympics. Moss gained his first international recognition when called up for the New Zealand squad for a friendly match against Iran in October 2003, however he did not earn his first cap until a 1–0 win over Malaysia in February the following year. Moss was in goal for New Zealand's tour of Europe during the summer of 2006, as the All Whites picked up their first win over a European opponent when they beat Georgia 3–1. Moss was named in New Zealand's 2009 Confederations Cup squad to travel to South Africa where he played in all three games against Spain, South Africa and Iraq, where he kept a clean sheet and earned the All Whites a 0–0 draw – New Zealand's first point in a major FIFA competition. In November 2008, Moss was handed a four-match World Cup ban after swearing at referee Lencie Fred in a dead-rubber 2010 World Cup qualification match against Fiji. New Zealand attempted to appeal the length of the ban, but failed to submit their appeal on time. He was replaced by Mark Paston for the two World Cup play-off matches against Bahrain at the end of 2009. Following New…
