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.
