The Western Bulldogs today announced the appointment of Shannon Grant to the club’s coaching panel for season 2012.
Grant heads to the AFL club after a successful two-year period with the Essendon Football Club where he filled the roles of Bendigo Bombers Senior Coach and Development Coach.
The 34 year old guided the Bendigo Bombers to successive finals series in 2010 and 2011 after inheriting a side that failed to register a win in the 2009 season.
Grant also worked closely with Essendon’s younger players as Development Coach.
Grant forged a tremendous playing career which included a Premiership, Norm Smith medal, All-Australian selection and club Best and Fairest in 301 AFL games with Sydney and North Melbourne.
Bulldogs Senior Coach Brendan McCartney said Grant comes to the Club with impressive credentials.
“Shannon has worked extensively at VFL level and has shown that not only is he a good coach but he has also been able to successfully develop young players,” he said.
“We’re thrilled to have him part of the Bulldogs family and look forward to him developing into a really good AFL coach.”
