Caroline Springs is on the hunt for a new coach after Brodie Holland accepted a Victorian Football League coaching job.
The Lakers announced on Friday night that Holland had joined the Northern Bullants as their senior coach for next season.
“Caroline Springs Football Club would like to congratulate Brodie Holland on his appointment to senior coach for the Northern Bullants VFL team,” president Terry Azzopardi said in a social media post.
“Brodie commenced with Caroline Springs in 2018 and over the last five years has worked diligently to build a side that is now ultra-competitive and pressing for the ultimate success in the premier division of the Western Region Football League.
“We would sincerely like to thank Brodie for his time with us and his commitment to the role, and our club, and wish him every success as he makes the step up from local football into the VFL.”
Under Holland, the club made finals for the first time this season. They won their first minor premiership before being knocked out of the finals in straight sets.
Football manager Marc Raak said after they were knocked out of the finals that this year was something to be proud of and a season they would use to build for the future with a core young group.
Holland had previously coached Maribyrnong Park to two premierships in the Essendon District Football League before coaching the Lakers.
Azzopardi said the process to appoint their next senior coach has commenced and they will communicate with members in due course.
