Wellington Phoenix have strengthened their squad with the signing of an All Whites defender with a familiar surname.

Prior to his spell in the US, the bulk of Boxall’s career had been spent in Scandinavia, playing for SJK, KuPs and VPS in Finland and for Viborg in Denmark. The Phoenix have been on the hunt for an additional defender to bolster their backline after leaking 24 goals in their first 15 games. “I let him know that I was on my way to the airport to go to Wellington and he was like ‘is that what I think it’s for?’ and we had a good little chat,” Nikko Boxall said. Boxall received the call from the Phoenix on Sunday, was in Wellington on Monday and trained with his new team-mates on Tuesday ahead of his unveiling. Boxall will follow in the footsteps of Michael, who played 39 games for the Phoenix between 2012 and 2015.

Wellington Phoenix have announced the signing of experienced defender Nikko Boxall for the remainder of the 2022-23 Isuzu UTE A-League season.

“I got back on Saturday, got a call on Sunday and flew down on Monday so it was pretty quick, but I’m looking forward to it,” Boxall said. “The injury to Scottie (Wootton) and Payney’s (Tim Payne) suspension has tested us at the back and by signing Nikko we now have real competition for places throughout the squad.” “We’re excited to be able to add a player of Nikko’s calibre to the squad,” Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay said.
