Wenzel-Halls played youth football at local club Ipswich Knights,[1] played in their under-8 team through to under-15 team at Brisbane Lions and then at Olympic FC from 2013 to 2015,[2] and with Brisbane Roar youth in 2016.[3]

Western Pride

[edit]

In the 2017 NPL Queensland grand final, Wenzel-Halls scored an 89th-minute free kick against Moreton Bay United, winning the match 2-1 and securing Pride’s first piece of silverware.[4] He was named in the 2017 NPL QLD Team of the Year,[5] and won the 2018 Queensland NPL Golden Boot with 24 goals in 14 games.[6][7]

While playing for Western Pride, Wenzel-Halls broke the record for the most goals scored in a single National Premier Leagues match, scoring seven goals in a 15–0 win over Sunshine Coast.[8][9]

Brisbane Roar

[edit]

On 4 May 2018, following his goal-scoring exploits in the NPL, Wenzel-Halls signed a one-year contract with A-League club Brisbane Roar.[10]

He made his professional debut on 24 November 2018 against Melbourne City, replacing Matt McKay in injury time with the Roar going on to win the match 2–0.[11]

Wenzel-Halls grabbed his first A-League assist in a 2–1 loss to Adelaide United on 30 November 2018, providing the cutback for Henrique's goal.[12] He scored his first A-League goal in a Round 17 clash with Adelaide United on 2 February 2019, scoring the Roar's second goal as they went down 4–3 at Hindmarsh Stadium.[13]

Western United

[edit]

On 20 June 2021, Wenzel-Halls left Brisbane Roar and joined Western United, signing a three-year contract.[14] In January 2023, Wenzel-Halls departed the club by mutual consent to allow him pursue another opportunity.[15]

Central Coast Mariners

[edit]

A couple of days after leaving Western United, it was announced by Central Coast Mariners that they had signed Wenzel-Halls until the end of the 2024–25 season.[16] Wenzel-Halls made his debut for the Mariners against Brisbane Roar, his first A-League club, on 1 April 2023, after an injury-stalled start to his time at the club. Wenzel-Halls scored his first goal for the Mariners against Western United, his other former club, at Eureka Stadium on 7 April 2023, his second appearance for the Mariners.[17]

Wenzel-Halls was part of the Mariners team that won the 2023-24 A-League Championship, an unused substitute in the 2023 A-League Men Grand Final in which the Mariners won 6-1 against Melbourne City at Western Sydney Stadium.[18]

The following season, Wenzel-Halls was also part of the Mariners' 2023-24 treble winning season, winning the A-League Championship, A-League Premiership and AFC Cup.[19][20] Wenzel-Halls departed the club in the post-season, to take up an overseas opportunity.[21]
