His leadership, connection with players, and clear vision for the senior program make him the perfect person to set the tone for the men’s setup.

Ryan Luty steps in alongside Ryan Withers, bringing a fresh perspective, strong tactical knowledge, and an eagerness to build on the foundations already in place. His drive, attention to detail, and passion for the Green & White will be a major asset as the group moves into a new chapter.
Together, this partnership marks the start of a united, disciplined, and ambitious senior program, one focused on hard work, accountability, and a strong one club culture.
David Hirst
After a season coaching our Senior Women, David steps back and jumps into the men’s space to take over a strong Div 2 group, a squad that, under Ryan Withers, claimed back to back Cup titles in 2023 and 2024.
David brings experience, composure, and a deep understanding of the game, and he’s eager to build on the strong foundation already in place. With this group’s proven success and Hirsty’s leadership, 2026 is shaping up to be another massive year.
Connor Knock
After guiding the team all the way to the 2025 Grand Final, falling just short of the ultimate prize, Connor is back with unfinished business, and he’s on a mission to take this group one step further.
Connor’s passion, commitment, and belief in his squad were clear all season, and we’re excited to see him build on that momentum heading into the new year.
Andrew Collie
After an excellent year guiding our U16B team, Andrew returns ready to take the next step in his coaching journey. His passion for player development, strong work ethic, and commitment to United’s culture made him an easy choice to elevate into our senior setup.

Tash Rose
Tash connection to the club, passion for the women’s program, and commitment to player development make her the perfect person to lead this group again. She understands what the club stands for and brings a calm, positive, and competitive approach that gets the best out of her players.
Division 2 plays a vital role in our women’s pathway, and Tash’s focus on enjoyment, improvement, and team culture ensures players feel supported while still being challenged to grow and push themselves.
