Left back Dalton Wilkins has been called into the All Whites squad for the October internationals against DR Congo and Australia.
Two-cap Wilkins (24) plays for Danish first division club Kolding IF after playing his youth and early senior football with Wellington’s Western Suburbs, Auckland City and Eastern Suburbs.
Wilkins replaces wing-back James McGarry who has been ruled out of the games due to a hamstring injury sustained while playing for his Scottish club Aberdeen.
