St Kilda Football Club can confirm Assistant Coach Jared Rivers has tendered his resignation.

Rivers has accepted a coaching role at Melbourne Football Club, where he played 150 games between 2003 and 2012.

“Jared has been a great addition to our football club and we were looking forward to him being at the club in 2026, but we completely understand his pull back to the Dees,” St Kilda CEO Carl Dilena said.

“We thank Jared for his contributions to the Saints over the past 12 months and wish Jared, his wife Sophie and the entire Rivers family all the best.”
