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.
