AFL Tasmania’s Northern Talent Manager Darren Trevena will depart his position at the end of this month to take up the role of Talent Manager at SANFL Club, Glenelg FC.
Tasmania Devils State Manager Craig Notman said he was sad to see Trevena depart after a valuable contribution towards footy talent in Northern Tasmania.
“Darren’s impact on our Talent program has been profound, not only in the Northern region, but the whole of the Tasmania Devils program state wide.
“His ability to engage with the wider football community has allowed the program to make significant gains in his time in the role, and he has laid a terrific foundation for the program moving forward.
“The passion that Trev (Darren Trevena) has for football in the state is undoubted, along with the genuine care he has for young players within the program, not only from a footballing point of view, but also as young men.
“He has a profound impact on a number of players engaged with the Devils, and has set them a course for football success.
“We wish Trev all the best with his new endeavours, and know he’ll be a great supporter of all things Talent in Tasmania,” Mr Notman said.
Trevena, a Tasmanian Football Hall of Famer says he will miss the players, coaches and staff he worked closely with over his tenure.
“I have really enjoyed my time in the role, it has been an immense pleasure to work in Tassie footy – something I am incredibly passionate about,” he said.
“I am proud to play a part in the foundations of the Devils program and I’ll continue to be a vocal and passionate advocate for Tasmanian talent.
“An exciting opportunity awaits for me at Glenelg but I leave with confidence that AFL Tasmania and the Devils program are on the right track.”
Trevena will finish in the role on January 3rd and recruitment for his replacement will take place in the coming weeks, ahead of the 2020 season.
