Storm appoint new coach

Rex Vo has been tasked with leading Newport Storm into a new challenge next season.

The Storm entered the state league competition in stunning fashion this year, claiming the state league 5 west title having been on top all season.

In its first season the Storm lost just two games.

With a competition restructure, the Storm will play in state league 5 north-west.

The new division includes the top two teams from both the state league 5 north and west competitions along with teams from state league 4 west and north.

On social media, the Storm announced that Vo would coach the side.

“Rex brings a wealth of experience from elite youth development environments, having coached in the Junior NPL [National Premier League] system and served as an academy coach at Western United.

“His background reflects a strong commitment to developing players through high standard training environments and modern game principles.

“Holding his AFC B Diploma, Rex is deeply passionate about fostering technical excellence, discipline, and a positive team culture. His coaching approach blends tactical detail with strong relationship building, ensuring players are supported both on and off the pitch.

“Rex’s proven ability to elevate young talent, implement clear playing styles, and create high performance team environments makes him an outstanding fit to lead Newport Storm FC’s senior program.”

Vo replaces Sergio Lunderi, who was recently appointed coach of Melton Phoenix.
