“Brisbane is my home, it’s been a huge, huge part of my life and my family’s life – I started my family here, I met my wife here,” Hingert said.

“Brisbane Roar is always going to be my club, regardless of my next opportunity and I’m always going to be a part of Brisbane Roar.
“It’s been with a lot of pride and I’ve been grateful to be able to represent Brisbane and Queensland as a state, it’s not something I’ve taken lightly.
“Every time I stepped on the pitch I’ve always tried to do them proud and represent them to the best of my ability.
“To every coach, teammate, staff member, and especially to every fan who’s supported me through the highs and lows — thank you. Thank you for believing in me, for showing up, and for making Brisbane feel like home.”
