“I’ve been in football a long time. Obviously, this is my first big, big role and one I’m really looking forward to. I’m really excited.“I was a player who was passionate, committed, I had that drive and I want to bring that type of player to Brisbane Roar.“It’s a tough job, it’s a tough ask, but I believe I’m the right man to do that, bringing in the right player. “Brisbane have had some fantastic years in terms of what they’ve won.
