Real improvement from Tommy Smith at Waitakere United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Tommy Smith is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Tempers go at Waitakere United

Stefan Fenton was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Stefan Fenton has improved at 30, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Market14 Sep 2026

Tommy Smith puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Waitakere United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Stefan Lewis is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Waitakere United

Jarrod Scott was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tim Waine has improved at 28, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Words at Waitakere United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Owen Smith is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Loan watch14 Sep 2026

Bill Garbett counts the days

“I watch every Waitakere United game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Team Wellington runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Tim Stamatelopoulos puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Waitakere United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Waitakere United close the window on a squad of their own making

1 in and 6 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Matt Boxall is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market7 Sep 2026

Sam Colvey has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Waitakere United they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Waitakere United

Jarrod Scott 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Late improvement for Alex Colvey

At 24 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.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

No deal for Kosta Wood at that price

Waitakere United offered $24.0K; Southern United said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market7 Sep 2026

Business is business: Monty Bell goes

Team Wellington paid $18.0K and Waitakere United took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Oliver Tuiloma stays at Canterbury United as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Waitakere United will try again when the window opens; Canterbury United may not be selling by then.
