Chris Wood's prolific goal-scoring for Nottingham Forest is unprecedented for New Zealand football and may never be repeated, the country's coach said Thursday.

Speaking to Sportsworld on BBC World Service, Jarvis who described Wood as a "winger's dream" said: “I used to love having someone you could cross the ball into and someone who is going to go and get on the end of it.

Chris Wood's purple patch in front of goal has helped Nottingham Forest climb to fifth in the Premier League and New Zealand coach Darren Bazeley says the striker's form is unlikely to be matched again by a Kiwi at such a high level.

Darren Bazeley hopes the high-scoring 32-year-old Premier League star can fire his country to their first World Cup finals since 2010.
