Onome Onotafe gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Onome Onotafe has just signed for Hawke's Bay United, and for once the answer mattered.

Supporters turn on the $11.0K sale of Callum Sutton

He is going to WaiBOP United, the club has $11.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Real improvement from Manraj Singh at Hawke's Bay United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Manraj Singh is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Owen Nelson signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Owen Nelson and Hawke's Bay United agree another 3 years.

Market16 Aug 2027

Waitakere United watching Owen Sutton

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Hawke's Bay United have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market16 Aug 2027

Hawke's Bay United sell Callum Sutton for $11.0K

Callum Sutton has left for WaiBOP United in a $11.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Ryan Kirwan damages knee ligaments — 134 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 134 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The terraces16 Aug 2027

Anger at WaiBOP United spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Boardroom16 Aug 2027

The scrutiny sharpens at WaiBOP United

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at WaiBOP United is running low.

Match16 Aug 2027

WaiBOP United are in real trouble now

Position 7, 6 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Kosta Waine breaks a bone — 48 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 48 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market16 Aug 2027

Tim Fenton asks to leave WaiBOP United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Real improvement from Daniel Pearson at WaiBOP United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniel Pearson is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Ben Van Hattum has improved at 25, 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.

The terraces16 Aug 2027

WaiBOP United spend $11.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $11.0K for Callum Sutton, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Tommy McCowatt damages knee ligaments — 61 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 61 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match27 Jan 2027

Hawke's Bay United march on in the cup

Team Wellington are out and Hawke's Bay United go through, 3‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Callum Sutton asks to leave Hawke's Bay United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Hawke's Bay United

Bill De Vries 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.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Words at Hawke's Bay United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Stefan Cacace 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.

Market1 Feb 2027

Wellington Phoenix join the queue for Jai Smith

Add another name to the list: Wellington Phoenix have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Jai Smith. The answer from Hawke's Bay United has not changed — yet.

The pass was always on for Dane De Vries

Chances created: 14. Somebody has to open a door before anybody can walk through it, and he spent the afternoon opening doors.

Player ratings1 Feb 2027

One of those days for Stefan Cacace

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.28, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Loan watch1 Feb 2027

Kosta Waine wants to come home

“I did not go to Melbourne City to sit and watch. I want to come back to Hawke's Bay United and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 1 matches say the rest.

Dane De Vries runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 49. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Tommy McCowatt damages knee ligaments — 75 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 75 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match16 Jan 2027

A bad afternoon for Hawke's Bay United against Canterbury United

1‑2 to Canterbury United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad18 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Monty Reid

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

Market18 Jan 2027

Melbourne City are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Hawke's Bay United will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Oliver Boxall never got going

4.84 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.
