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.
Since joining Pine Hills in 2021, Brandon has fully embraced the club’s community spirit. He was quickly drafted into coaching MiniRoos, and in 2024, he stepped up to coordinate ground officials, and in 2025, he took on the crucial role of Fixtures Coordinator.
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.
Michael commenced his playing career at the age of 6 and still going strong in the over 35’s at Pine Hills. Father to a former academy keeper who is part of the under 23's and a current academy keeper.
Ryan is PHFC's strength and conditioning coach. Keep an eye out for him around the club, and check back here for a proper bio soon!We also acknowledge and celebrate
the many new and beginning coaches we have at our club. It is impossible to
provide a coaching program that develops our players without the volunteer mums
and dads who put their hand up to coach each year. PHFC is grateful for this
support.
We are committed to supporting our new and beginning coaches during 2026 through our provision of coaching programs, Heads of Football and the recurring support of the Technical Director.
