Back on the Pitch with the Wellington Phoenix

The partnership, which started in 2023, will continue to give the Phoenix access to Pacific Radiology’s specialist imaging services such as x-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs, CT scans, and bone density scans. 

Sports imaging is a particular area of specialty for Pacific Radiology.  Our team includes radiologists with specialist expertise in musculoskeletal imaging and interventions, focused on imaging the body’s bones, cartilage, connective tissue, joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons. 

 
Head Wellington Phoenix men’s physiotherapist Grayson Harwood is thrilled the Nix will be able to call on Pacific Radiology’s services for another season. 

"Having a trusted imaging partner like Pacific Radiology makes a real difference for us,” Harwood said.  
 
“They're always professional, responsive, and easy to work with, which helps us make timely decisions around injury management.  
 
“Their nationwide network is also a huge advantage given how much we travel, as it means we can access high-quality imaging wherever we are.  
 
“The consistency and accessibility are invaluable throughout a long season.”

Pacific Radiology Wellington and Manawatū managing radiologist Dr Nick Kenning says they’re proud to be able to keep supporting Phoenix players, the medical team and the wider club. 

"Through advanced imaging, specialist expertise and a collaborative approach, we help provide the clinical insights needed to guide diagnosis, treatment and recovery with confidence,” Dr Kenning said.  
 
“Strong partnerships are built on trust, and we value the relationship we've developed with the Wellington Phoenix as we continue working together to support player wellbeing and performance.” 

In addition to supporting the Wellington Phoenix, RNCNZ is also an official partner to Canterbury Rugby, Tri NZ, the Hurricanes, Snow Sports NZ and the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
