New Zealand international striker Monty Patterson will take on a coaching role with newly-promoted Northern League club Manurewa next season.
The All White will play in the Northern League but has been named as head coach for the club’s U-23 side, and for Rewa’s U-17 and U-19 teams for their national tournaments in late 2023.

His move into coaching also adds to the strengthening of Rewa’s coaching staff with the arrival also of veteran coach Paul Marshall who will help head coach Rhys Ruka.
Marshall left his role as Director of Football at Onehunga Mangere United at the end of last season.
