Ryan De Vries (born 14 September 1991) is a footballer from New Zealand who plays as a forward for FC Gifu in the Japanese J2 League.

Club career

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, De Vries made his debut for Waitakere United in the 2009–10 New Zealand Football Championship and transferred to Auckland City in 2013. He won the New Zealand Football Championship in each of his first six seasons.[1]

On 18 May 2014, in the OFC Champions League Final second leg, De Vries equalised as Auckland came from behind to defeat Amicale of Vanuatu 2–1, 3–2 on aggregate.[2] In December of that year, he helped his team become the first Oceanian side to come third at the FIFA Club World Cup, putting the team in front in an eventual 1–1 draw with Mexico's Cruz Azul before a penalty shootout victory.[3]

On 17 January 2018, De Vries signed a one year deal to play for FC Gifu in Japan.[4]

International career

New Zealand Football initially approached FIFA in 2011 to establish whether De Vries was eligible to play for New Zealand, which he was not at the time.[5] On 8 March 2015, he was called into the New Zealand national football team to play a friendly against South Korea by coach Anthony Hudson.[6] He made his debut in the match in Seoul on 31 March, being substituted at half time for Tyler Boyd in a 0–1 defeat.[7]
