Fremantle Football Club’s current Team manager, Brent Dawkins will take over the role of the Bulldog’s Football Operations Manager on Monday October 4 after completing nearly 15 years of meritorious service with the Dockers in a variety of positions since January 1996.
Recognized by the WAFL hierarchy as a major recruiting coup for the Bulldogs, Brent commenced his association with the Dockers as their Victorian based recruiting officer from 1996 to 1998.
In 1999 he was based in Fremantle as a fulltime recruiting officer and also co-ordinating player welfare programs.
His current position in football operations with the Dockers began in 2004 under the guidance of Stephen Icke and current boss Chris Bond.
Brent has accepted the role with South Fremantle with the blessing of the Dockers and in particular Chris Bond who highly recommended him for the position.
When he commences his new job at South Fremantle, Brent will be in complete control of all football operations of the club and he will call upon his 15 years experience working within the AFL system hopefully to good effect and to the benefit of his new club.
Married into the famous Martinovich family which has very strong links to the club through Chris and Ted, Fremantle’s renowned chiropractic team, his appointment could not be more welcomed by Bulldog’s supporters.
