Full-time at Glen Eira FC

It is with a mix of pride and a tinge of sadness, that I announce that Season 2025 will be my last year with Glen Eira FC.

During my 13 years, the Club has grown to 90 teams, making it now Victoria's largest sporting club.  Glen Eira FC has become the go-to club for community junior football, known for being inclusive, welcoming, and player-focused.

Creating meaningful football experiences for thousands of players and families has been the most rewarding chapter of my life — but also the most demanding.  I'm looking forward to slowing down and spending more time with my family. Beyond that, I have no firm plans.

The future of Glen Eira FC is in great hands. Odilia and her outstanding team are ready to lead the Club into its next phase, and I’m working closely with them to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

To the Presidents, Committee Members, Coaches, Team Managers, staff members and volunteers I’ve had the privilege of working with over the years — thank you. Your support has meant the world to me, and I’ve made lifelong friends along the way.

To the players and parents who placed their trust in Glen Eira FC — thank you for being part of our journey, and for making the Club what it is today: a safe, fun, and inspiring place to play the game we all love.  

Finally - a big shout-out to my family for their understanding and support while I spent so many countless hours at the club.  

It’s been an honour. 💙⚽
