Tyler Bindon's journey in the Major League Soccer (MLS) started at a young age.

The 21-year-old centre-back for Sheffield United, was born in Auckland and later moved to the US at 12 years-old when his Mum, Jenny Bindon was hired as a women’s football coach at UCLA.

Tyler came through the Los Angeles Football Club’s academy, before attracting the attention of the USA under-19 national team and qualifying through his American born mother.

In 2023, Tyler rejoined New Zealand and has since made 21 appearances for the fern.

Wearing the fern runs in the Bindon family, with Tyler's Illinois-born mother, Jenny Bindon, representing the Football Ferns on 77 occasions between 2004 and 2014.

When Tyler played for New Zealand at the 2024 Paris Olympics, it was a feat his mother had too achieved, at both the 2008 and 2012 Olympic games.

Tyler and Jenny are now thought to be the first Mother-son duo to represent at a World Cup.

Ahead of the FIFA World Cup meet the second Kiwi playing in Major League Soccer (MLS)!⚽

22 year-old Finn Surman made the move from New Zealand to the US in 2024, after being signed by the Portland Timbers. He is among the talented Kiwis, playing in the Major League Soccer (MLS) and returning home to don the fern in this year's FIFA World Cup.

The centre-back for the Portland Timbers, who was raised in Christchurch, made his international debut on November 18 2023 against Greece in Athens before being named in the 2024 Paris Olympics squad. He has a long list of national representation to his name having played in New Zealand’s U-19, U-20 and U-23 youth national teams.

In 2023, Surman helped New Zealand qualify for and advance to the Round of 16 at the FIFA U-20 World Cup, starting in all four matches for the junior side and wearing the captain’s armband for the duration of the tournament.

⚽From Major League Soccer (MLS) to the FIFA World Cup! ⬇

Auckland-born Michael Boxall, who is of Samoan heritage, is among New Zealand's 26-man team that will soon join the best soccer players in the world for the FIFA World Cup.

When the team launch their tournament campaign in Los Angeles on June 15 at SoFi Stadium, it certainly won't be the first US game for Michael, who has been playing professionally in the US for nearly a decade.

He was signed by Minnesota United FC in 2017 and has now made more than 230 appearances for Minnesota. Prior to joining the MLS (first in 2011 with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC), the defender followed in the footsteps of other New Zealand soccer players, including Tony Lochhead and Neil Jones, by playing college soccer at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

In 2011, Michael made his international debut for New Zealand against China and has gone on to represent the All Whites on 60 occasions. He scored his first and only international goal last year, in the 3-0 win over New Caledonia in Auckland, which helped secure New Zealand's spot in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
