Former Box Hill Hawks senior coach Brendon Bolton has been appointed the coach of Carlton.
Bolton spent two seasons in charge of the Hawks in 2009 and 2010, before being appointed as an assistant coach at the club’s AFL affiliate Hawthorn.
He had a win-loss record of 23-13 at Box Hill, guiding the team to fifth-placed finishes at the end of both home-and-away seasons and overseeing the development of AFL draftees Sam Iles and Lukas Markovic in 2009 and Ed Curnow and Cameron Pedersen in 2010.
With Bolton commencing work at the Blues this week, the man who replaced him as senior coach at Box Hill in 2011, Damian Carroll, will also replace him in the vacant assistant coaching role at Hawthorn for the timebeing.
Carroll led the VFL Hawks to a premiership in 2013 and has been working with many younger players regularly in Box Hill’s current team in his role as the head of Hawthorn’s Development Academy.
