Player Info

Greg Draper is a classic target-man striker currently playing for Newtown AFC, known for his physical presence and aerial prowess in the box. Born on August 13, 1989, the New Zealand-born forward stands at an imposing 186 cm and uses his 78 kg frame effectively to hold up play and finish chances. Draper's career has been defined by prolific goal-scoring spells, most notably in the Welsh Premier League with The New Saints, where he became a club legend and one of the league's all-time top scorers, winning multiple domestic titles. His time in Wales established him as a ruthless finisher capable of scoring all types of goals. After a long and successful stint there, he returned to New Zealand, bringing his experience and goal-poaching instincts to the domestic scene with Newtown AFC. While perhaps not as widely known on the international stage, Draper's consistent goal output over many seasons marks him as one of the most effective strikers in the leagues he has graced, a true penalty-box predator whose name is synonymous with finding the net.
