Spotlight on our Coaches - Cole Tinkler

Our dedicated Physio/Trainer has a Wikipedia page enviable by many. With a stellar playing career as a professional in Europe, Australia and Asia alongside appearances with age group NZ teams and at the Olympics with the NZ U23s, ‘Tinks’ has done it all! We are incredibly fortunate to have Tinks on board as a qualified physio who not only provides exceptional performance support but also can provide incredible footballing insights to the players as a 4th set of eyes and can also assist on the training pitch too. Still to hit his prime being only 38, Tinks on occasion still dons his boots and gives the players a run for their money at trainings and also has Tekkers to rival Coach Builty. Cole Tinkler will assist across both teams, and we are delighted to have him onboard for his second tour.
