Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 62. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Team Wellington

Steven Lustica and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Walter Scott was the difference for Team Wellington

Marked 7.34. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Tommy Garbett signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tommy Garbett commits to Team Wellington for another 3 years.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Callum Van Hattum: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Francis Reid

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Chris Sutton is the weekend's best young player

At 14 he is being measured against the rest of the division's kids and coming out in front. The senior version of this award is where the club would like this to lead.

Match28 Nov 2026

Team Wellington and WaiBOP United cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. WaiBOP United came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Looking ahead30 Nov 2026

Cameron Bell goes back to face Waitakere United

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Cameron Bell’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Team Wellington needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Kosta Sutton says Team Wellington went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Team Wellington

Steven Lustica and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Late improvement for Jai Wood

At 33 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Willem Ebbinge was the difference for Team Wellington

Marked 7.36. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Callum Van Hattum chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The form table has caught Ilisoni Lolaivalu

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Noah James left out for tactical reasons at Team Wellington

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Match24 Oct 2026

Point won or two lost for Team Wellington?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Auckland City? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Walter Scott gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Walter Scott has just signed for Team Wellington, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Hassan El Hattab signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Hassan El Hattab commits to Team Wellington for another 2 years.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

An offer of $25.0K for Jordan Vale

Team Wellington have gone to Auckland City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Steven Lustica needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Team Wellington know which stage they are at.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Team Wellington try to borrow Adam Bell

Auckland City have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Team Wellington try to borrow Kosta Sutton

Hawke's Bay United have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Team Wellington ask about Noah Wood

A loan enquiry to Southern United: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Market3 Aug 2026

A long bet from Team Wellington on Josh Damevski

He is 20, and nobody at Team Wellington signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
