At the end of the 2010/11 season the club disbanded, with their final top flight game ending in a 3-1 defeat away to Wellington Phoenix.

Since then the club has been reformed as Northern Fury FC, who play in the Queensland National Premier League but have aspirations to return to the A-League if the competition is expanded.

But what happened to the players who started for the Fury in their last top flight game? We've tracked 'em down...

Sebastian Usai

Usai, now 27, played just four times for North Queensland after spending most of the club’s final season on the bench.

When the club folded, the Brisbane-born goalkeeper joined Premier League side Blackburn Rovers in 2011, however he failed to make a single appearance in a two-year stint at the club.

Since then Usai has travelled across the globe, representing AFC United in Sweden, Scottish side Cowdenbeath F.C. and Brisbane Strikers FC in the Queensland National Premier League.

In 2016 Usai returned to Sweden, signing for Friska Viljor FC in the fourth tier.

Simon Storey

Storey didn’t make another A-League appearance after North Queensland’s final game in 2011.

The defender, who played 32 times for Melbourne Victory between 2005 and 2007, stepped down to the National Premier League after his only season with The Fury.

A brief spell at Melbourne side Green Gully Cavaliers was followed by a move to India, where Storey played 15 times for Mohun Bagan in the I-League.

Story, now 34, retired in 2014 and has since joined the medical team at Melbourne City.

Brad McDonald

The 27-year-old defender was released by Central Coast Mariners for the second time in his career earlier this year.

After North Queensland’s demise, McDonald signed for the Mariners in 2011 but was let go two years later, having played just one game for the club.

Following a spell in the National Premier Leagues, with Manly United and Leichhardt Tigers, McDonald re-signed for the Mariners in January 2016, but 12 months later his contact was terminated once again.

Mark Hughes

Centre half Mark Hughes, now 30, has amassed over 300 appearances in the English Football League, following spells at Bury, Morecambe and Stevenage.

Hughes made a surprise move to the A-League in 2010 when he joined Fury from Walsall, after turning down a new contract with the English side.

The former Everton trainee played 30 times for North Queensland in his only year Down Under. He is now a key figure for League Two side Accrington Stanley, who he joined in January 2016.

Andre Kilian

After a six-year upbringing in the youth academy at Schalke in Germany, Kilian’s career has dwindled in the past few years.

After failing to break into the first team, the midfielder made the decision to join North Queensland, where he played 19 times in his only season at the club.

Killian, now 29, then returned to Germany in 2011, and for the last six years he’s been playing for fourth tier side FC Homburg.

Brett Studman

Studman’s final game for Fury was certainly an eventful one, with the defender scoring his only A-League goal before being sent off and giving away a penalty in the 3-1 defeat to Wellington Phoenix.

That proved to be Studman’s final top flight appearance, and the Australian’s next move saw him join Sydney Olympic in the New South Wales National Premier League.

The defender –  now 31 – then joined Blacktown Spartans in 2014 and is now without a club after leaving Leichhardt Tigers in Sydney last year.

Jack Hingert

English-born Jack Hingert, now 26, has been a key player for Brisbane Roar after arriving from North Queensland in 2011, establishing himself as the first choice right-back for John Aloisi’s side.

After two years with Fury, Hingert was signed by former Brisbane Head Coach Ange Postecoglou (who now manages the Australian national side) ahead of the 2011/12 season.

The defender was part of the Brisbane squad which won the A-League Championship in 2012, and he has recently reached 100 league appearances for the club. 

Chris Grossman

Another player who dropped down to the National Premier Leagues following North Queensland’s collapse.

Grossman, now 30, joined Melbourne side Moreland Zebras, who he helped win the Victorian first division in 2011.

The midfielder then signed on loan for Newcastle Jets in 2012, after the A-League side suffered several injuries, but Grossman never made it onto the field for the club.

Grossman returned to Victoria, signing for Port Melbourne Sharks in 2013. His final club was Sunshine George Cross, which he left last year.

Adam Casey

Former-Australian Under 23 international Adam Casey, now 30, finished his career at Tuggeranong United in Canberra in 2014

He also represented National Premier League sides Rockdale City and Leichhardt Tigers after spending two years at North Queensland, where he made just nine appearances.

Casey did feature in Sydney FC’s Championship-winning campaign in 2010, despite only featuring three times for the club that year.

Gareth Edds

After 15 years as a professional footballer, Gareth Edds, now 36, has now turned his attention to coaching.

In 2015 the former A-League midfielder opened the Gareth Edds Soccer Academy for children in Queensland.

As a player Edds spent most of his career in England, where he represented five different clubs over 14 years - including Nottingham Forest and the MK Dons.

Edds spent his final playing year at Fury and made a brief return to football when he signed for the re-formed Northern Fury in 2013.

David Williams

The industrious forward went on to play over 100 A-League games for Melbourne City between 2011 and 2016.

Williams, now 29, has been capped twice by Australia and also spent a few months at Sydney FC, helping the Sky Blues in their AFC Champions League campaign in 2011.

Williams won Melbourne Heart's player of the year for the 2013/14 season after scoring 12 times.

When he was released by City in January 2016, Williams immediately signed for top flight Hungarian side Haladás F.C and is now over halfway through his second season with the club.

Franz Straka (Manager)

The former Czech international was appointed North Queensland’s manager at the start of the 2010/11 season, after managing several clubs in his native country.

In his only A-League campaign, flamboyant Straka became a cult figure in the league with his ubiquitous linen jacket and exuberant support on the sidelines... but he recorded just four wins as Fury finished bottom of the division with 19 points.

Since then Straka has managed in Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. At the end of last year he took change of Ismaily SC in the Egyptian Premier League.
