Mounties Wanderers FC is a professional soccer club based in Mount Pritchard, New South Wales, Australia. They currently play in the NSW League One (formerly National Premier Leagues NSW 2) competition after being promoted at the conclusion of the 2026 season. They were formed in 1978 as Mount Pritchard Soccer Club, changing their name to Mounties Wanderers for the 2008 season after being sponsored by the Mounties Group. The Mounties group also sponsors the Mount Pritchard Mounties rugby club. The club was originally founded by the Maltese Australian community.
The club is led by Andre Schroder, who is currently undertaking his first season as a head coach at first-grade level. Despite being in his inaugural campaign, Schroder has quickly established a clear vision for the club’s future, focusing on professionalism, player development, and a sustainable pathway to higher levels of competition. His coaching philosophy emphasises tactical organisation, accountability, and creating a culture where players are encouraged to maximise their potential both individually and collectively.
Schroder has publicly outlined an ambitious five-year plan aimed at guiding Mounties Wanderer FC into the highest divisions of football in New South Wales. Central to this vision is the development of a competitive squad capable of progressing through the football pyramid while establishing the club as a recognised force within the state’s football landscape. Beyond state-level ambitions, Schroder has also expressed his desire to position Mounties Wanderer FC as a future contender for participation in the Australia Championship, reflecting the club’s long-term aspirations to compete on a national stage. Under his leadership, the current squad is viewed as the foundation of a project designed to deliver sustained success and elevate Mounties Wanderer FC to new heights.
The club is historically linked with the Maltese-Australian community, and features a Maltese cross on its logo.
