Match21 Nov 2026

The wait goes on for Wellington Phoenix

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match21 Nov 2026

A bad afternoon for Wellington Phoenix against Melbourne City

0‑2 to Melbourne City, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Aaron Reid faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Aaron Reid after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Paulo Retre

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Paulo Retre, and the manager let it.

Looking ahead23 Nov 2026

Carlo Armiento goes back to face Perth Glory

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

The dugout23 Nov 2026

The plan did not have a place for Manjrekar James

Nobody at Wellington Phoenix is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Carlo Armiento

Successful dribbles: 9. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad23 Nov 2026

The shirt is Alby Kelly-Heald’s

At 21 he has taken a place rather than been given one, and somebody else has to find something to say about it. Wellington Phoenix have a decision that made itself.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

The afternoon ran through Lachlan Wales

Chances created: 4. Nothing on the scoresheet and everything in the match: the pass before the pass, over and over, until the defence stopped guessing right.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Wellington Phoenix rebuffed over Alban Ajdini

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Lausanne-Sport have kept their man, and Wellington Phoenix go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Bill Tuiloma signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Bill Tuiloma and Wellington Phoenix agree another 3 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Kazuki Nagasawa wants to finish where he started

Every long career reaches the week the player starts thinking about the last one. He would like it to be at the club that first put him on a pitch, and Wellington Phoenix now know that too.

Mark Beath steps up from the Wellington Phoenix academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mark Beath has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: David Morrison joins the Wellington Phoenix first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. David Morrison is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

James McGarry gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Wellington Phoenix try to borrow Michael den Heijer

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.
