I took over Holland Park Hawks FC in October 2014. The club had recently won promotion to Capital 1 and the expectation for the current season was to finish in a mid table position and consolidate after a successful season last year.I once again had to rebuild a squad as several players from the promotion winning squad decided to move towards social football.I managed to build a strong squad and we played with an expressive, quick style that enabled us to win the league by 9 points.We finished 3rd in the clubs's first season in the BPL (Brisbane Premier League) ensuring that I presided over the club's two most successful season's in their history to date.I decided to leave my post at the end of the 2016 season to concentrate on the final year of my degree, whilst taking up a role with less involvement.

As Co-director of Poms2Oz, I helped bring young footballers from the UK to Australia and helped them to settle into the Australian way of life. We, as a company, helped organise accomodation, job searching, football placement as well as offering city tours, weekend breaks, VIP nights and taking care of the smaller details such as setting up bank accounts etc.The company was wound up by myself and my partner after 3 years to concentrate on other pursuits but still happy to consult and advise any young footballers who are interested in moving to Australia.

I inherited a small group of players due to a lot of the previous season's squad moving onto pastures new and therefore was set the task of creating a new group for the 2014 season.I brought in several players from the lower leagues and worked with them to build a side that was hard to break down and difficult to beat.It was a completely different style of play and ethic than my previous sides had used. We picked up some very good results and received positive acknowledgement and feedback from other coaches in the league.I ended my time at the club prematurely due to family reasons.

In 2011 I took over at Bayside United FC, who had finished 11th out of 14 teams in the previous season. I immediately instilled the squad with a discipline and work ethic that is required to succeed in football. I brought in a top fitness coach in the shape of former Rugby League star Tonie Carroll and added some players to the squad. We were totally dominant from start to finish in 2012, eventually winning the BPL Premier Division 2 league by 9 points and losing only one game in the league campaign.Upon winning promotion, I brought in several players who I believed were capable of helping us to compete in the next level.Despite a severe injury crisis, we managed a 2nd place finish in Capital 1 and only missed out on promotion due to a league restructure.

In 2010, I was appointed to the role of Head coach at Brisbane Athletic FC. At that time, they were the worst team in the Brisbane Premier League, having finished 14th out of 14 in BPL Division 2.The following season, after a complete overhaul of the club's squad (25 out, 25 in), we were 6 points clear with 5 games to go and destined to take out the title. We were then docked 12 points for administrative issues that had nothing to do with the players or myself.

For a 7 month period, I co-hosted a radio show called 'Songs and Goals' on Logan's community radio station.The show was a 3 hour presentation that focused on the local football scene, as well as National and International football news. I was one of two football pundits on the show and we would regularly interview local coaches and players, as well as comment on the games that were going ahead that particular week.Time constraints forced me to end my time on the show.
