Montgomery backs 'ambitious' Wollongong Wolves for A-League

The veteran midfielder announced his professional retirement at the Mariners Medal presentation night but hasn't hung up his boots just yet

Former Central Coast Mariners captain Nick Montgomery is relishing a new role with Wollongong Wolves and has thrown his support behind the NPL NSW club's A-League ambitions.

The 35-year-old midfielder made his Wollongong debut in a 2-0 win over Rockdale City Suns at WIN Stadium on Sunday and was pleased with his performance after only meeting the rest of the Wolves squad at training the night before.

Having previously played at WIN Stadium while involved with the A-League All Stars squad of 2014, Montgomery believes it's "a real shame" the 23,000-capacity venue isn't being utilised for top tier football.
