Club history

The club was relegated from the Central League in 2007, to be replaced with Gisborne City. However, Gisborne City elected not to exercise their right to promotion as part of a club rebuilding strategy, and as such Team Taranaki were allowed to remain in the competition.

Present day

Taranaki selectors included Samoan international Desmond Fa'aiuaso when they named their 2010 season squad,[1] however he was released after having only played 2 full games to return to Samoa for personal reasons.[2] This proved to be temporary, and Fa'aiuaso returned to Team Taranaki's starting line-up the following week.[3]
