St Kilda have added highly regarded Henry Playfair to their coaching staff after 10 years of service at the Swans.
Playfair joined the Swans in 2008 and spent three seasons at the club as a player, before moving into a development role at the club at the end of the 2010 season.
For the past two seasons he has been the defensive coach of the Swans, but has now been appointed to the Saints' coaching staff.
โSydney has been my home for the past decade and Iโve made some wonderful friends and learned so much along the journey,โ Playfair told sydneyswans.com.au.
โI would like to thank the club, particularly John Longmire, for the opportunities Iโve had along the way. This move is about my development as a coach and broadening my experience, so I look forward to the next chapter.โ
St Kilda's General Manager of Football Performance Jamie Cox told the club's website they were thrilled with Playfair's appointment.
โHenry is an extremely experienced assistant coach who is highly regarded and we are thrilled to have him join the Saints,โ Cox told saints.com.au.
โHe has been a key part in a successful era at the Swans and we look forward to welcoming him to the Club ahead of the pre-season.โ
