Woongarrah FC is more than a club — we’re the Wildcats Family. 💙⚽️ From U5's to Senior Football, we’re building pathways, confidence and community on the Central Coast. Woongarrah Wildcats Football Club, Founded in 2008 by Kevin & Helen Wilson, the Woongarrah Wildcats Football Club (WWFC) was built on a vision—to create a member-first football community where players and families could feel proud,
valued, and supported. Our club was established on the principles of fairness, honesty, and inclusivity, providing an environment where all members, from juniors to seniors, could enjoy football at the highest possible standard. In 2009, Woongarrah FC became the 23rd affiliated club with Central Coast Football (CCF) and officially entered the 2010 competition season. Our inaugural year saw an incredible 418 registered players, 42 teams, and the generous support of three foundation sponsors—Unique Security Group, Raine & Horne Charmhaven, and The Dam Hotel. Since then, WWFC has gone from strength to strength, expanding in size, professionalism, and competitiveness.
*Growth & Development*
From grassroots to elite competition, player development has always been at the heart of WWFC. In 2013, former A-League midfielder Andre Gumprecht joined the club, playing a key role in developing our Men’s First-Grade squad while also mentoring our junior footballers. WWFC has consistently invested in our players by offering:
✔️ Free playing kit incentives to reward early registrations
✔️ Subsidized participation to ease financial burdens for families
✔️ Pathways for player development, ensuring opportunities from juniors through to senior-level competition
Our commitment to affordability, quality coaching, and player growth has made us one of the most respected clubs on the Central Coast.
*Woongarrah Today*
Now, over 15 years later, WWFC is a thriving club with a reputation for community spirit, player development, and competitive success. Our Men’s Premier League squad is a league title contender, while our Women’s Premier League team (WPL) continues to grow, establishing itself as a force in the competition. Off the field, we have secured long-term sponsorships and are actively enhancing our club operations—introducing new paid roles to ensure smooth and professional management. Our Key Initiatives Include:
✅ Long-term sponsorships to sustain club growth (DMC – 5-year Major Partner)
✅ Investing in facilities to enhance the player and spectator experience
✅ Recruiting experienced players like Jacob Melling & Matty Lewis to strengthen our squads
✅ Expanding operational roles to improve club efficiency
Our club mascot, "Roary the Wildcat", introduced in 2013, continues to be a favorite among our junior teams, making matchdays fun and engaging.
*Our Mission*
At WWFC, we believe in creating more than just a football club—we’re fostering a community. Our focus is on:
✔️ Welcoming new members and encouraging participation
✔️ Valuing every player, parent, volunteer, and supporter
✔️ Providing opportunities for players of all levels
✔️ Building a legacy of excellence—on and off the field
By working together, we continue to "Keep the Dream Alive" for generations to come. Be part of the Wildcats family.

🔵⚪ 2027 COACHING ANNOUNCEMENT | AJ HENDERSON ⚪🔵
Woongarrah FC is proud to announce Ashley “AJ” Henderson as our Men’s Reserve Grade Coach for the 2027 season! 🐾⚽
AJ is certainly no stranger to Woongarrah. For close to a decade he has been part of our club, our senior football program and so many of the great moments and successes we have shared along the way.
A talented attacking player with a natural eye for goal, AJ has represented the Wildcats across BPL, Division 1 and Men’s Premier League football, earning a reputation as one of the club’s most dangerous and consistent attacking players.
🔥 Some of AJ’s Woongarrah achievements include:
⚽ 2023 Division 1 Golden Boot – 20 goals
🏆 2023 Chairman’s Award
⚽ 13 MPL goals in the 2024 regular season, finishing among the competition’s leading goal scorers.
AJ’s contribution to Woongarrah hasn’t only been as a player either. He has previously coached within our junior ranks, including our U13B team in 2018, giving him an understanding of both the playing and coaching side of our club. citeturn540590search28
But statistics only tell part of the story.
AJ understands Woongarrah FC, our culture, our expectations and what it means to pull on the Wildcats shirt. He has been there through the highs, helped create some fantastic memories and has always shown tremendous passion for the club.
Now he begins the next chapter.
In 2027, AJ will take that playing experience, football knowledge and passion into a senior coaching role, working alongside our Men’s Head Coach as we rebuild our senior program and start an exciting new era for Woongarrah FC.
There is something special about seeing one of your own transition from player to coach, and we couldn’t be happier to have AJ taking charge of our Reserve Grade.
👏 Congratulations AJ – we can’t wait to see what you bring to the sideline in 2027!
Once a Wildcat, Always a Wildcat. 🐾💙

🔵⚪ WELCOME JACOB MELLING – MEN’S HEAD COACH 2027 ⚪🔵
Woongarrah FC is extremely proud to announce Jacob Melling as our Men’s Head Coach for the 2027 season.
Jacob is already a familiar face around Woongarrah and Central Coast, someone who knows our club, our players and what it means to wear the Wildcats badge.
Jacob brings with him an outstanding football background and a wealth of experience from the highest levels of the Australian game.
⚽ A graduate of the Australian Institute of Sport
Represented Australia at U17 level
🔴 Began his professional career with Adelaide United
🔵 Went on to play A-League football with Melbourne City
🔴⚫ Western Sydney Wanderers
💛💙 Central Coast Mariners
⚽ Later played with Charlestown Azzurri before becoming an important part of our own senior program.
Jacob joined the Wildcats in 2024, playing a major role in one of the greatest seasons in our club’s history as Woongarrah became 2024 MPL First Grade League Champions — incredibly, in our first season back in the MPL after promotion.
He returned again in 2025, continuing to be a major presence in our First Grade side with his leadership, quality on the ball and trademark set pieces. During those two seasons, our senior squad also added the 2025 First Grade Association Cup to the club’s history.
Now Jacob takes the next step with Woongarrah.
From player to Head Coach. 💙
After sitting out senior football in 2026, our focus has always been on returning in 2027 with the right people, the right culture and a clear long-term direction.
Jacob knows where this club has been, he understands where we want to go, and most importantly he shares our ambition to build a senior program that our juniors can aspire to be part of.
There is plenty of work ahead as Jacob begins building his squad and putting his own stamp on the next chapter of senior football at Woongarrah FC.
We couldn’t be more excited to have him leading the way.
Welcome to the next chapter, Jacob.
