This will be the second time he plays in Portugal\u2019s second division, having previously turned out for Leiria.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old\u2019s most publicised transfer came in 2019 when he joined Bayern Munich, but he has since had spells at Nuremburg, Regensburg and Hansa Rostock.<\/p>\n

The World Cup\u2019s \u201cmain character\u201d<\/a> decided to leave New Zealand for Paraguay and the country\u2019s most successful team, Club Olimpia<\/a>.<\/p>\n Payne joined the Wellington Phoenix in 2019 from Eastern Suburbs after he had bounced around clubs in England and the United States.<\/p>\n In his short time with the Paraguayan side, he has played three times and provided one assist.<\/p>\n Alex Paulsen<\/p>\n From Bournemouth to Motherwell<\/p>\n Fee: Loan<\/p>\n The goalkeeper has been loaned out by Premier League club AFC Bournemouth for the third time since joining them in 2024.<\/p>\n This time, he is much closer to England and will play for Motherwell, with his last two moves being to Auckland FC and Polish outfit Lechia Gdansk. <\/p>\n We won\u2019t see him link up with Just this season after the midfielder\u2019s move to Swansea, but Paulsen has settled into life well in Scotland, starting 10 times for Motherwell, who sit third in the Scottish Premiership.<\/p>\n Jesse Randall<\/p>\n From Auckland FC to Dundee United<\/p>\n Fee: Free<\/p>\n Randall\u2019s move to Scotland was known before the World Cup and he has managed to hit the ground running, scoring one goal and assisting another in his five Scottish Premiership appearances.<\/p>\n Despite this output, Dundee United have lost three of their five games so far this season and are currently fourth-bottom on the table, but he can look back fondly at his time with Auckland FC and going out on a high as a grand final winner.<\/p>\n Lachlan Bayliss<\/p>\n From the Newcastle Jets to Auckland FC<\/p>\n Fee: Free<\/p>\n
