Club career

Beginning his career at Manchester 62, Coleing got his senior breakthrough at Lincoln Red Imps in 2014. However, after just one season, he would return to Manchester 62 ahead of a move to the UK, where he would study at Leeds Trinity University. There, he would play for the university side as well as non-league clubs Thackley and Liversedge.

After completing his studies, Coleing returned to Gibraltar in 2017 to join Gibraltar Phoenix, however it would be at Europa where he would finally secure his place as first choice keeper during the 2019–20 season. His performances at club and international level subsequently attracted the attention of a number of overseas clubs, including Northern Irish side Glentoran.[1] However, Europa FC expressed a reluctance to let Coleing leave for Northern Ireland without triggering his £50,000 release clause, citing the UEFA coefficients when stating their belief that Glentoran would be a "sideways step" for the keeper.[2]

Nonetheless, in August 2020 Glentoran offered the full £50,000 release fee for Coleing,[3] and on 10 August Europa announced that Coleing had left the club.[4] He was officially announced by the Glens the next day, becoming the first Gibraltarian to play for the Northern Irish side since Colin Ramirez in the 1993–94 season.[5]

International career

Despite being involved with the senior team since 2014, Coleing made his international debut for Gibraltar on 5 September 2019, starting in the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying match against Denmark.[6] While studying in England, he also represented the England Universities North squad.[7]
