Kris Bright
http://fotball.aftenposten.no/forstediv/article209082.ece
(In Norwegian)
What it says is that Kris played with Alexander Midtsian in NZ, who is now at Bryne, and Alexander's father (who was or is the coach of Kristiansund BK) told the coach at Bryne about Kris.
Kris had a trial with Tampere but thy could not reach an agreement in negotiations.
(I think - translating the google translation! :))
Why?
- He is an extremely good finish and has a high detection rate of terminations, says Bryne coach Tommy Bergersen to Aftenbladet.no
Bright has previously played for clubs from the Netherlands, Norway, Greece, England and Hungary, and he is now klubbl�s.
His last club was Honv�d Budapest, Hungary.
Just before the transfer window closed, he was in Finland to sign the contract with Tampere, but transition stranded at the last minute due to conflicts over the agent's fee.
We follow Bryne: The latest news about the club here
After the transition to Tampere went down the drain, is bright with no club.
Bryne has investigated the possibility of retrieving the player now, but it is difficult to get dispensation to get the club loose players after the transfer window is closed. In other countries it is easier to get the club loose players, and it allows Bright to end up in another club in the fall.
But Bryne want to keep the contract with the player in terms of next season.
- We will have a meeting to hear what plans he has, and where we will also register our interest, says Bergersen.
