South re-sign Brad Gotch

South Adelaide Football Club re-signs Senior Coach Brad

South Adelaide Football Club is excited to announce the re-signing of Senior Coach Brad Gotch until the end of 2017.
“Brad has been a fantastic addition to our club and the progress he has made with the playing group in his time with the Panthers has been exciting to watch,” said SAFC Chief Executive Officer Wayne Peters.

“Brad himself has said that this playing group is not far away from tasting the ultimate success and we are delighted to see him commit to the Panthers for a further two years.

“We have full confidence in Brad as Senior Coach to continue the development strategies implemented for our Club. We believe that maintaining consistency in our coaching group is key to giving ourselves the best opportunity to maximize the potential of our exciting playing group.

“We now look forward to Brad continuing with his successful coaching platform for the next two years.”
Since joining SAFC in 2014 Gotch has a coaching record of 19 wins, 13 losses and 1 draw. In 2014 he guided the Panthers to the Preliminary Final and third place on the SANFL ladder – Souths best finish in 24 seasons.

He currently has South Adelaide sitting at 5th position on the ladder and vying for its first consecutive finals campaign since 1991/1992.
Under his tutelage the club has seen three players drafted to the AFL; Caleb Daniel (Western Bulldogs), Keegan Brooksby (Gold Coast Suns) and Tom Fields (Carlton).

A salary of 150K does make it a little easier though.

As long as the club keeps paying it way and returns a profit in its business model and of course if it brings us a premiership then WHO CARES.
