“The club looks forward to ‘Aydo’ stepping into the coaching role as he is a character that is very respected around the Leitchville-Gunbower community,” a statement from the club said.
Meanwhile, John Hogan has been named as the reserves football coach with the Bombers looking to go one better in 2021.
