'Embarrassed to speak to my family' - Hoole opens up on Mariners struggles

After signing for National Premier League side Broadmeadow Magic, Andrew Hoole has revealed how much he's struggled over the past two seasons with Central Coast Mariners.

The 25-year-old, who could still re-sign with the Mariners after his A-League contract expired, joined the club in 2017 as they went on to pick up back-to-back wooden spoons.

Last season was a particularly tough one for Hoole after he was dropped for disciplinary issues and the attacker concedes the club's struggles have taken their toll on him.
