With over 35 years of involvement in football, Brandon brings a lifetime of passion and experience to Pine Hills FC. His journey began at Bingera FC, a rural club outside of Bundaberg. As a player, Brandon represented Wide Bay and was part of the Diggers FC side that won back-to-back Wide Bay Premierships and Grand Finals in 2001 and 2002.

Brandon’s football philosophy is simple: players of all ages perform their best when they’re happy and healthy. He’s often heard reminding players that “if it wasn’t meant to be fun, we wouldn’t do it,” or encouraging them with, “get your heads up — this just became a learning opportunity!”

As Pine Hills FC enters a new era of academy football, Brandon remains dedicated to nurturing the club’s core values, living, laughing, and loving the game, ensuring it continues to be a place where every member feels proud to belong.
