Hard work and dedication pays off for Mark James.

Congratulations to ex-INGOAL player Mark James, who joined the Benfica Academy in Portugal last year. 

Marc and his family moved to Portugal in July 2023 when Marc was accepted into a top Portuguese international school.

James is a hugely talented and driven goalkeeper originally from Auckland. He has worked closely with Isaac, one of our INGOAL coaches at Auckland United. We wish James all the best in his pursuit overseas. INGOAL is proud to be a part of this young lads journey.
