Saw in the paper today that YoungHeart Manawatu are expecting two Uruguayan players to join the side for next season, with both described as "active in the Uruguayan First Division"

EDIT: Can't find a link as it was an editorial-style piece, but I would call Manawatu Standard frontpage fairly reputable.

Fair enough. We can only hope these Uruguayans come to fruition and show their wares regularly at El Memorial! If they are playing at a high-ish level it is quite possible that they are coming to New Zealand (as players have in the past) in an attempt to augur towards a move into the A-League.

Dreams are free :)
