Roy Krishna

Roy Christopher Krishna (born 30 August 1987) is a Fijian professional footballer who plays as a striker for OFC Professional League club Bula FC and captains the Fiji national team. He is the most-capped and highest-scoring Fijian footballer of all time. In 2022, he became the first player to reach 50 caps for the Fiji national team.

Krishna joined the New Zealand Football Championship (NZFC) side Waitakere United from Fijian local outfit Labasa FC in January 2008.

In May 2008, he spent two weeks training with the Wellington Phoenix, but was not offered a contract.

In March 2009, it was reported that PSV Eindhoven was interested in signing him. However he said professional football in New Zealand with the Phoenix was his preferred option because he was not ready to move to Europe as he was still learning English and was not ready for another language. Later, in June 2013, Krishna was offered a one-month trial by EFL Championship club Derby County; however, he was unable to attend due to restrictions imposed upon him due to his recent obtainment of New Zealand permanent residency.

In his 6 seasons with Waitakere United, Krishna managed 55 goals in 75 appearances and has won the NZFC Golden Boot in the 2012–13 season.
