Benjamin Totori (born 20 February 1986) is a Solomon Islands footballer who plays as a striker for Western United.[1]

Club career

A small but speedy striker, Totori made his name at NZFC side YoungHeart Manawatu before moving to Richmond Athletic and then onto Waitakere United in 2007. In 2008 he moved abroad signing with the Portland Timbers in the United States after impressing New Zealand-born coach Gavin Wilkinson.[2]

Totori returned to Waitakere United after injury cut short his career in the USA. He joined Koloale FC Honiara in October 2010 after another successful spell in New Zealand.[3] He immediately ended up top goalscorer in the Telekom S-league, netting 23 goals in only 19 matches.[4]

On 19 June 2012 it was announced Totori had signed a one-year deal with Hyundai A-League club Wellington Phoenix.[5]

On 14 June 2013, Totori and Wellington Phoenix mutually decided to terminate his contract, allowing him to join the Oakleigh Cannons for the remainder of the 2013 season.[1]

He currently plays in his homeland for Western United.

International career

He made his debut for the Solomon Islands in an August 2007 World Cup qualifying match against American Samoa and has represented his country in several age groups at international level.

At the 2011 Pacific Games, Totori scored a hat trick in the Solomon Islands' opening 7–0 win over Guam.[6]

Totori represented his home side at the 2012 OFC Nations Cup in Honiara, Solomon Islands. In a game against Papua New Guinea Totori scored the lone goal of the match, and then in the final group match against New Zealand Totori scored a goal to tie the match 1–1.
