STA Mount Olive is thrilled to announce the return of Matthew Farrell as the club’s Technical Director.

“This club has always been close to my heart, and I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to contribute to its continued growth and success,” said Farrell.

Farrell brings a wealth of experience, passion and dedication to player development.
