As Auckland City Football Club prepares to face Bayern Muich, Benfica and Boca Juniors on its historic FIFA Club World Cup journey in the United States, one name stands out among the ranks, Angus Kilkolly, the club’s tireless frontman and instinctive finisher.
4 June 2025
Since joining the club in 2021, Kilkolly has carved out a legacy, becoming Auckland City’s third-highest all-time scorer with an impressive 71 goals in 138 games.
His hold-up play, off-ball movement, and knack for finding the net in tight spaces make him one of the most reliable forwards in domestic football. But for Kilkolly, it’s more than just goals, it’s about etching his name into the club’s rich history.
“You look around in the club room and see photos of all the previous winners, and you kind of want to put yourself in that history,” Kilkolly reflects. “When people come through in 20 years and look at the photos, you want to be part of that story.”
His passion for football is matched only by his love for Auckland itself. Once an outsider to the city, he quickly fell for its stunning beaches, vibrant bays, and welcoming community—an ideal place to settle. “Auckland has a reputation, but once you’re here, you realise how great it is,” he says.
As Kilkolly and his teammates set their sights on the global stage, the striker understands the significance of representing New Zealand against the world’s best. “It’s still surreal that we’ll be playing on the biggest stage against some of the biggest stars,” he admits. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to express ourselves and show our personalities.”
With Auckland City ready to take on international giants, and Kilkolly leading the charge, the club’s quest for glory is more than just a challeng, it’s an opportunity to showcase the spirit of Auckland and its footballing passion to the world.
