Zealand.
Browne said: "It’s like coming home
and I can’t explain how excited I am about being back. I have
already started preparing for the new season, but know it will be
hard work.
"Canterbury is a nice family club with
great facilities and should be playing at the top level. We want to
be get back into the Premier Division, finish in the top three and
then get into Europe."

"Everyone is delighted that Kwan has come back. We made an approach
to him about it and the timing was perfect."
