SQUAD UPDATE: 2026 F-League Men

Our Men’s F-League Roster has been confirmed by head coach, Daniel Sciacca. The squad maintains the club focus of retention as 16 of the 19 selected players have played in RCF colours before.  The team sees the return of two visa players, a number of youth players promoted to first team contracts and a handful of strong experienced signings.

The club has continued its relationship with New Zealand based players with both Corbin Fell and Samaan Teinapi returning to Brisbane in 2026. Fell comes back to River City after a disruptive season back home with Waikato Rapids and will look to continue his form which saw him guide us to another successful cup run in 2025. Teinapi rejoins the club after playing for RCF2 in 2025 and had a successful season back in NZ after winning the National League with Auckland City. His performances in pre-season have earnt him a roster spot in 2026 and we are excited to see what he can do moving forward.

Our academy has again produced players who now move to F-League contracts. Orlando Lopez after a golden boot clinching season now moves to a full-time first team contract. Our squad is boosted from the resigning of up-and-coming talent in Roman Cvjeticanin who played some big first team minutes in the back end of 2025. James Black who proved valuable in the 2025 season has been retained, Riley Wallis joins the squad for the first time after a strong U19 season. Charlie Gordon and Euan Hardie round out the youth age players who will boost our roster depth in 2026.

The 2024 QLD Futsal Player of the Year returns, Ryan Jones, after a successful stint with Waikato Rapids and then a strong showing for Bloomsbury Futsal in the UK top futsal tier. He is joined by internationally experienced player, Dylan Di Toro, who comes to River City after playing for Arqam Eagles in Western Australia and comes to Brisbane with a very impressive resume.

Locally we have secured the services of brothers, Joshua and James Holden who were both instrumental in getting Ipswich Revolution off the ground and successful in 2025. The new signings are rounded off with the introduction of Lochie Winter from South Brisbane Fury to the goalkeeper ranks this season. We also added free agent, Nate Boylan to our roster for the 2026 season.
