Meet your 2025 Umina United President

I’m Danny Nelson, originally from the UK, but for the past 10 years, Umina United has been my home. When my family moved from Sydney, we only knew a couple of people, but through this incredible club, we’ve built friendships and made lifelong connections.

I’ve played, coached, and served on the committee as Gear Steward, and now I have the honour (and big responsibility!) of carrying on the great work of those before me as President. My passion is football, but more than that, I want to see Umina United continue to be a true family club – a place where generations come to play, support, and belong. For my family, it’s exactly that – both my kids and my wife Tash play here, and she also helps run the canteens, so for us, it’s a full family commitment.

I’m committed to developing our young players, strengthening our senior teams, and making sure our club stays connected to the community. This club is for all of us, and I’d love to hear your ideas, have a chat, and work together to make Umina United stronger than ever.
