Club Secretary Tony Rossi, confirmed that City is looking forward to the

coming season with some optimism and excitement, after completing a

rigorous process in locating suitable coaches for the coming season.

Rossi added, “The Club is excited to welcome back one of our old boys

after a 25 year absence – our only Australian Representative Player. Kurt’s

appointment will enable the Club to continue to develop youth and in turn

assist the Club in achieving gradual improvement towards the ultimate goal

of regaining our position as one of the leading Soccer Clubs in the State.”

He added, “City’s feeder Club, Westside Devils, is one of the largest

Junior Clubs in the state & continues producing a high number of quality

players of both sexes, so we’ve really had to look at investing in suitably

qualified high level Coaches who will assist these youngsters as they

progress into Senior Soccer.”

Reynolds last played for Launceston City in 1984 before being selected into

the AIS football squad where he spent 2 & half years under mentors Jimmy

Shoulder & Ron Smith in Canberra. Reynolds has recently returned

to Australia after spending the last 7 years working in the Middle East. A

seasoned professional athlete, who has experienced the Australian Youth

and Senior Development programs, Reynolds possesses an abundance of

playing experience at National and International level. One of the

highlights of his career was captaining the Australian Young Socceroos at

the World Youth Cup, Chile , South America in 1987. He has played over
