Former New Zealand international Rory Fallon has been named first team head coach for Upper Hutt City.
Fallon (41) replaces another ex-All White, Stu Jacobs, who resigned from the role in mid-January and has since been named head coach and director of football at Island Bay United.
Upper Hutt City came third in last season’s men’s Capital Premier League behind Wellington Olympic and Island Bay United, with the latter winning promotion to the 2024 Central League.

However, in mid-January, the Wharfies confirmed they had parted company with Fallon and announced their side would instead be led by Tomás Godoy Fouquet.
