Northern League Golden Boot winner Derek Tieku has transferred from Hamilton Wanderers to Central League champions Wellington Olympic.
Tieku, who scored 17 goals in last season’s 22-round Northern League, signed for Olympic in February and made his new club debut in Saturday’s OFC Champions League play-off game against Auckland City.
The former Crystal Palace U-21 player came off the bench in the 66th minute of Olympic’s 1-1 draw at Martin Luckie Park, Wellington.
