Coaching Bio

Current player and Individual Player Development Coach for Eastern Suburbs FC in QLD NPL with 9 years experience playing in the A-League and National team for NZ. I am looking forward to helping players develop in all areas and to share my playing experiences to guide them through their development as a footballer.

Originally from New Zealand, I started playing professionally at 17 for 9 years for Wellington Phoenix, Newcastle Jets and Brisbane Roar as well as representing New Zealand at U17, U20 and international level. I currently play and do private coaching in the Brisbane area. I have experience in 1on1 and small group coaching for all age groups. My sessions will focus on technical development and helping players develop in all areas to transfer into games. I provide position specific training as well as guidance for their games and personal training. I am keen to share my experience as a footballer to help your development and passion for the game.

Matt was great with our two boys, very professional and friendly. Both boys loved their training session, learnt new drills and can’t wait to have another session with Matt. Thank you.

Matt was so friendly and supportive- offering excellent advice and insights to our aspiring footballer son. I highly recommend Matt to refine skills and technique with a great attitude around the game.

Booked a couple of small group sessions with Matt. Found Matt to be well prepared and utilised the time well. The sessions had an emphasis on technique and ball control. Would recommend Matt for all levels.
