Hillside will have a new women’s coach for next year’s Essendon District Football League women’s season.

The Sharks announced on social media that Rob Davis had made the decision to step down from the role at the end of the season.

“The club wishes to thank Rob Davis, senior women’s coach, for his dedication and efforts over the past two seasons,” the club said.

“Rob has informed the club he will not be pursuing re-appointment next season due to business and family commitments.

“Rob will continue to coach for the remainder of this season. Thank you Robbie D, we wish you all the very best for your future endeavours.”

Davis took on the role heading into the 2022 season having had a break from coaching, after coaching for 11 years straight.

It was his first time coaching women’s football.

The Sharks face Westmeadows on Saturday, in the second half of the split round in premier division.

They entered the match in sixth spot with three wins.
