Shawn Gillies Appointed Men's Head Coach for Season 2024/25

4 Mar by Jacob Steber

Former Melville Cricket Club player Shawn Gillies will coach the men’s teams for season 2024/25.

Shawn is a Melville Person, having been an integral member of our 2003/04 & 2004/05 1st grade Premierships, scoring 100 in the 03/04 final. He also won back to back Adam Voges Medals and Wally Hannah Club Cricketer of the Year Trophies in 2005/06 and 2006/07.

Shawn has also been an assistant coach, running our bowling program a number of years ago and more recently attending some training sessions and match days over the past two seasons when time would allow.

Shawn has not only played for WA, but also has an extensive background in fitness and people management.

“As a past player I’m really looking forward to being a part of the club full time again. Over the past few years the club has welcomed me back in limited capacity due to proximity and family but now I get a chance to repay that generosity,” said Shawn.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to continue coaching, developing and learning in a really positive environment. The amazing off field culture and structures the club has in place will hopefully provide a strong foundation for the on field success we all crave.”

Stay tuned for more coaching announcements to come.
