Kiwi Ryan Nelsen has made his debut for Tottenham Hotspur, helping his club to a 5-0 win over Newcastle in Sunday morning’s (NZT) English Premier League clash.
Nelsen was subbed on in the 75th minute for defender Ledley King, and slotted into his familiar spot at the back.
It was Nelsen’s first premier league appearance since suffering an injury while playing for Blackburn in August last year.
He will return to New Zealand later this month to captain the All Whites in their one-off friendly against Jamaica in Auckland.
