Former Subiaco Premiership player Marc Webb has been appointed to the senior coaching position at Claremont Football Club, after finishing his outstanding football career with Subiaco.Webb retired as a player last year and took on the role of assistant coach to Chris Waterman looking after the midfield at Subiaco.
Webb finished his 192 game playing career as a four time Premiership player at Subiaco (2004, 2006, 2007, & 2008), three time Premiership Captain, a Simpson Medallist in 2006, Best Fairest in 2003, and a State representative three times.
Webb beat a quality field of applicants for the coaching position at Claremont.
Claremont President Ken Venables said the club needed to find the suitable replacement for Simon McPhee who would continue to build on the strong culture and values built over the past three years.
"Although Marc has limited experience in coaching, he has an abundance of knowledge, with the latest game trends, forward thinking and well planned structures which will suit our playern group.
"We believe with good coaching support and mentors involved within our Club, Marc has an excellent career in
coaching ahead of him."The Club has an outstanding record in sending coaches and players to higher levels over the past 20 years, and we hope the trend will continue with Marc as he takes on our senior role," Mr Venables said.
Webb said he was extremely excited to be given the opportunity to coach the Claremont League side.
"I have followed the progression of Claremont over the past 3 years to one of the powers of the competition. I see a Club with great values and I am rapt to be part of their future."
