Career

International

Raniga was a member of the New Zealand under-17 side which won the 2011 OFC U-17 Championship.[1] He was subsequently named in the squad for the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[2]

He was called up to the under-23 side for the 2015 Pacific Games.[3] New Zealand were eliminated in the semifinals after their win over Vanuatu was overturned by the OFC for fielding an ineligible player, causing the side to miss qualification for the 2016 Olympics.[4][5]

Raniga was first called up to the New Zealand side for a friendly on 7 September 2015 against Myanmar in 2015.[6] He made his debut briefly as a substitute, before coming from the field soon after due to injury in a 1–1 draw.[7]
