The committee of North Geelong Warriors FC wishes to announce that it has parted ways with 2023 NPL Men’s Head Coach, Tom Gavran.
Tom stepped in and took the reigns after the resignation of Stuart Begg earlier in the season and hit the ground running.
After a transition period and some quick adapting, Tom was able to steer the young brigade through injury crisis, personnel changes and new player recruitment. Under Tom’s reign the team was able to build in confidence and start picking up points in bursts through the remainder of the season, to keep the side with a chance of top flight survival right up to the last day of the season.
Although the points on the board tell one story, the other side of that is a testament to Tom and his approach to the club’s mission of promoting from within, seeing no less than nine players from the Under 18s and Under 21s make senior debuts. We’re sure they are better prepared for what may come their way in years to come as a result of the season just experienced.
We sincerely thank Tom Gavran for his commitment and perseverance through trying times, to give the job the utmost attention and professionalism, Tom is a terrific person who will no doubt be a valuable asset to the next club or project he gets stuck into.
We wish you all the very best Tom.
