Tahj James Rodney Minniecon (born 13 February 1989) is an Australian football (soccer) player who plays for Meralco Manila in the Philippines Football League.
He grew up in Brisbane and went to Cavendish Road State High School and Carbrook State School. One of his junior clubs was Loganholme Lightning Football Club.
Minniecon was signed by the Roar from the AIS in 2007. On signing a two-year deal he said, "This is my home-town club and ever since the Hyundai A-League started I always wanted to start my career with Queensland Roar. My family and friends are in Brisbane and I can’t wait to get started".
On 3 January 2009, it was revealed that Minniecon had signed with new A-League franchise Gold Coast United for their inaugural season in the A-League. Minniecon was set for a trade with Newcastle Jets striker Chris Payne, however the move fell through when Minniecon suffered a heel injury during a youth league game against Sydney FC.
After spending time on trial with Western Sydney Wanderers he completed the signing of a one-year contract on 8 August 2012.
After being released by Western Sydney, Minniecon signed a short-term contract with NSW NPL1 club Rockdale City.
On 1 December 2014, it was announced that Minniecon had signed a 1-year deal plus extension (if he plays well) with Filipino-based club Meralco Manila in an attempt to get his career back on track.
On 15 February 2015, Minniecon made his debut and scored his first goal for Loyola in a 2-3 away win against Manila Jeepney in the 2015 United Football League.
