The Western Bulldogs today announced that it has agreed to release Senior Assistant Coach Brett Montgomery from his contract to enable him to focus on future opportunities in the AFL.



Director of Football Chris Grant thanked Montgomery for his dedication and professionalism over the past six seasons.



“Brett has been a tireless contributor and has added great value to our Club over many years. Firstly as a well-respected player and then since returning as Assistant Coach in 2010.



“The decision to part ways at this time of the year was a mutual one, allowing Brett more time to start planning for the next phase of his career.”



“We are sure that Brett has a bright career path in football ahead of him and we wish him and his family the very best for the future.”



During his six-year stint with the Dogs he was elevated to the role of Senior Assistant and was rewarded by being named AFLCA Assistant Coach of the year in 2014.



Montgomery is currently one of four coaches selected to take part in the second intake of the AFL’s Level 4 Coaching course.
