Jean Kaltak (born 19 August 1994) is a Ni-Vanuatu international footballer who plays as forward for Vanuatu club Ifira Black Bird and the Vanuatu national team.
Club career
[edit]Kaltak, formerly a youth player with the Teouma Academy, also started his senior career with the team, as they were elected to play in the Vanuatu Premia Divisen starting in the 2009–10 season.[1] He played for them until 2011 before signing for Papua New Guinean side, Hekari United in September 2011.[2]
International career
[edit]Kaltak initially played with Vanuatu's U-17 squad at the 2009 OFC U-17 Championship where Vanuatu finished fourth out of four teams.[3] He continued with the team at the 2011 edition, scoring five goals as they again finished fourth. Three months later, he debuted with Vanuatu's U-20 squad at the 2011 OFC U-20 Championship where he received the Golden Boot with six goals as Vanuatu finished third.[4] His performances for the youth teams eventually got him a call-up into Vanuatu's senior team for a pair of friendly matches against the Solomon Islands towards the end of July 2011.[5] He featured in both matches as a starter as they drew one and won one.[6][7] He also scored 16 goals in 2015 Pacific Games against Federated States of Micronesia national under-23 football team.
Personal life
[edit]Kaltak's brothers, Tony and Kalfter, and cousin Brian are also footballers.[8][9] His father, Ivoky, is a former Vanuatu international footballer who also played as a striker.[10]
