Colts Coaching Announcement

The East Perth Football Club wishes to advise that the club has parted ways with Colts Head Coach, Geoff Abbott, effective immediately.

Geoff has been a stalwart of the East Perth Talent Pathway, committing many years of service in a variety of roles, before being appointed as Colts Head Coach at the start of last season. In his time in the role, Geoff played an integral part in guiding the development of all players, many of whom he has worked with since their early days in the club’s Development Squad Programs. The club would like to thank Geoff for the hard work and dedication he has shown in his time in the role.

Ben Willett (current Colts Backline Coach) has been appointed as Interim Coach for the remainder of the season. The club will commence a recruitment process in the coming months for a new coach ahead of the 2026 Preseason.
