St Kilda Football Club wishes to advise that assistant coach Adam Kingsley will leave the club to seek new opportunities.

Kingsley joined the Saints in 2011 and has spent the past eight years in various coaching roles, including most recently heading up transition. 

General Manager of Football Simon Lethlean thanked Kingsley for his contribution to the Saints.

“Adam has played a key role in St Kilda’s coaching team over the past eight years and believes the time is right to take on a new challenge,” Lethlean said.

“We acknowledge that a change in environment is important for assistant coaches to continue to develop, and at the same time it provides an opportunity to add new voices into St Kilda’s football program.

“We wish Adam and his family all the best for the future.”

Further changes to St Kilda’s coaching team will be announced this week.
