MAX Crocombe has been named in the New Zealand Under 23 squad for the Pacfic Games next month.

The Oxford United goalkeeper, who turns 22 in August, is one of seven players in the All Whites squad who played in the Under 20 World Cup two years ago.

He travels to Papua New Guinea on Monday, with the first game next Friday, against the Solomon Islands.

The final is on July 12, a day after United's opening pre-season friendly against Didcot Town.

The winners will secure a place at next summer's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
