Finn Surman (born 23 September 2003) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Major League Soccer club Portland Timbers. Born in Wales, he represents the New Zealand national team.
Club career
[edit]Wellington Phoenix
[edit]In November 2021, Surman was one of three players who travelled to Australia to join Wellington Phoenix's senior A-League Men side, forced to play away from home due to travel restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand.[2] He made his debut for the Phoenix in a win over Western United in the 2021 FFA Cup on 7 December 2021.[3]
Surman signed a professional contract with the Phoenix in February 2022.[4] By April 2022, Surman was making regular appearances in the Phoenix's starting side.[5]
Portland Timbers
[edit]On 20 July 2024, Surman was transferred to Major League Soccer side Portland Timbers for an undisclosed fee. Surman was the third Wellington Phoenix academy graduate to sign an offshore club deal. Surman signed a contract through the 2026 season, with a club option till 2027.[6]
On 19 October 2024, Surman made his debut for the club, starting in a 1–1 draw against Seattle Sounders.[7] On 16 August 2026, Surman scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 defeat to Chicago Fire at Soldier Field.[8]
International career
[edit]Born in Wales and raised in New Zealand, he was eligible to play for either New Zealand or Wales.
On 5 June 2023, he was called up by New Zealand for the first time.[9]
Surman was later announced to represent the All Whites in the 2024 Paris Olympics.[10]
On 14 May 2026, Surman was included in New Zealand's 26-man roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[11] Because Wales did not qualify for the tournament, he was the only Welsh-born player to play at the tournament.[12] On 21 June 2026, in the 15th minute of a World Cup group stage game against Egypt, Surman scored a headed corner goal to bring the All Whites their first World Cup lead at the halftime interval.
