The announcement was made to the club at Footscray's annual presentation ball at the Bromley Court Hotel, which Phil attended as guest speaker.
Phil will plan and deliver the club's coaching programme, including leading our Thursday night training sessions in person. Pre-season dates are to be announced, and Phil will start in June.
Phil's appointment underlines the club's commitment to developing our rugby, as well as maintaining the strong social element of the club. Tuesday night sessions will continue to be fitness based and led by guest personal trainers.
During the announcement, Chairman Barry Lewis voiced the Club's thanks to Coach Chris Hanney, who has led the rugby development of the club with passion and enthusiasm over the past 2 seasons.
Footscray is an open, friendly club which welcomes all abilities - from beginners and former players to those wishing to play first team rugby. Players are the life blood of our club, and we encourage all to come down and get involved. There is no cost involved in coming down and trying out some Footscray rugby.
In the coming weeks our exciting news will be promoted externally in the local media - we hope it will help draw players to our club. Do your bit by promoting the news and encouraging players you know that there's a rugby home for them at the 'Cray.
Remember to register as a member / player on this site to continue to get news, updates and involved with the club.
Hoorah the club!
