Respected assistant coach Luke Webster will depart the West Coast Eagles at the end of the season.

Webster joined the Eagles as a development coach at the end of 2015 and progressed through several roles over the past decade.

He was the inaugural WAFL Eagles senior coach for the 2019 season and led the standalone team to finals, winning an elimination final.

Webster then took on the role as forward line coach from 2020-23 before transitioning to backline coach for the past two campaigns.

“Luke has been a key member of our coaching panel for the past decade, building incredibly strong and genuine relationships with our players and staff,” General Manager Football Gavin Bell said.

“He played a vital role in a successful era for the Club - helping shape our players not only as footballers but as people - always bringing energy, positivity and a deep commitment to our program.

“On behalf of the Football Department and the West Coast Eagles, I want to sincerely thank ‘Webby’ for everything he’s contributed. Luke will always be part of our Club, and we wish him and his wife Samantha all the best for the future.”

Webster said the relationships he has built at West Coast would endure.

“I’m incredibly grateful for the past 10 years with the Club. It has been an unforgettable journey with defining memories I will carry with me always,” Webster said.

“What has truly made this experience so rewarding are the people I’ve had the privilege to meet and work alongside.

“The friendships and relationships formed during my time with the Eagles are ones I will value for a lifetime.

“Football has always been a part of who I am, and I hope throughout my time here my passion for the game, for this Club, and for the players has been evident.

“My wife Samantha and I are excited for whatever the next chapter has in store for us."
