Oliver "Oli" Sail is a New Zealand professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for A-League club Perth Glory and the New Zealand national football team.

Club career

Auckland City

In 2013, Sail joined Auckland City^[1] but wouldn't debut until the following year in the semi-final of the 2013–14 ASB Premiership, when he replaced Tamati Williams in Auckland City's 4–1 victory over its classic rival Waitakere United.^[2]

Wellington Phoenix

Sail joined Wellington Phoenix to be part of their new reserves team playing in the ASB Premiership.^[3]

On 3 March 2017, Sail signed his first senior contract, penning a two-year deal with Wellington Phoenix.^[4]

On 25 March 2018, Sail made his A-League debut against Brisbane Roar in a 2–2 draw.^[5]

Sail had a wait of 663 days between games before he saw another start for the Phoenix after not playing at all during the 2019-2020 season, getting the start in a 2–2 draw against Western Sydney Wanderers.^[6]^[7] He then went on to record successive clean sheets against the Newcastle Jets and Perth Glory as well as man of the match honours, helping a resurgent Phoenix claim back-to-back victories for the first time in a year.^[7]

On 3 March 2023, Sail confirmed that he would be leaving Wellington Phoenix at the end of the 2022-23 A-League season.^[8]

Perth Glory

6 days after Sail's impending departure from Wellington was made public, it was announced that Sail would join Perth Glory for the 2023-24 season as he signed a three-year contract.^[9]

International career

U-20

Though Sail was picked for the New Zealand U-17 team in 2013, he didn't get on the pitch.^[10]^[11] He was then picked for the New Zealand U-20 team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup played in New Zealand, making his debut in the 0–0 draw against Ukraine. He then started again in the 4–0 loss to the United States three days later.^[11]

Senior

In 2014, Sail was called up to New Zealand's senior squad for two friendlies against China and Thailand,^[12] but he was unused in both matches.^[13]
