BOMBSHELL ANNOUNCEMENT: Geelong Cats Football Development Coach David Morgan Submits Resignation Letter and explain’s his Decision…..

In a move that has sent ripples through the AFL community, Geelong Cats Football Development Coach David Morgan has officially submitted his resignation, bringing an end to a significant chapter in the club’s coaching structure.

The announcement, confirmed by the club earlier this week, comes after a period of reflection by Morgan, who has been widely respected for his role in nurturing emerging talent and strengthening Geelong’s development pathways. During his tenure, Morgan was closely involved in guiding young players as they transitioned into senior football, earning praise for both his technical knowledge and player-first approach.

In a statement addressing his decision, Morgan emphasized that the resignation was not the result of a single incident, but rather a combination of personal and professional considerations. He explained that after years of intense commitment to the demands of elite football, he felt the time was right to step back, reassess his priorities, and explore new challenges beyond his current role.

“This club has meant a great deal to me,” Morgan said. “I’m incredibly proud of the players I’ve worked with and the progress we’ve made together. However, after careful thought, I believe this is the right moment for me to move on and allow both the club and myself to continue growing in new directions.”

Geelong’s leadership acknowledged Morgan’s contribution, thanking him for his dedication and impact on the club’s long-term success. Club officials noted that his work behind the scenes has helped lay a strong foundation for future generations of Cats players.

While Morgan did not outline his next steps in detail, he hinted that he remains passionate about football and development, suggesting that his departure from Geelong does not mark an exit from the game entirely.

As the Cats begin the process of identifying a successor, the focus will remain on maintaining continuity within their development program. For supporters and players alike, Morgan’s resignation marks the end of an era—but also the beginning of a new phase for both the coach and the club.
