Bula FC midfielder Fergus Gillian is settling into life at camp, embracing the heat, the intense training, and the challenge of a demanding schedule.

Speaking after a tough morning session in the sun, Gillian admitted his body was still feeling the effects of training the night before.

Gillian explains that his move to Bula FC was an easy decision.

He says that, off the pitch, he has already found a favourite aspect of camp life, which is the food.

Originally from Auckland, New Zealand, Gillian grew up on a small farm on the outskirts of the city.

The 20-year-old says that football has always been part of his life, starting in the backyard with his brothers and sisters.

He adds that, over the past five to six years, he has been based in Wellington, playing for the Wellington Phoenix, which was both a challenging and rewarding environment.

Bula FC will take on Vanuatu United FC in the OFC Pro League’s opening match on 17 January at 2pm at Eden Park in Auckland.
