“Anthony has done a great job in lifting the profile of the game in the State, and he will be sorely missed. I am sure I speak on behalf of everyone involved in the sport in wishing him well in his future career” said Garry Chandler.  “We have been fortunate to secure Ashley in this important role. He has an extensive marketing & communications management background, is a well known figure in the local sports media network, and has tremendous knowledge of the local game. I am excited at the prospect of working with him in furthering the promotion and development of the sport in WA.” continued Garry.

“Football is finally fulfilling its huge potential in this country and I look forward to playing my part in increasing the game’s profile, and highlighting the talented individuals that Western Australia has a habit of producing. There are still a lot of challenges ahead but I am enthusiastic about being a part of the team facing those challenges head on” said Ashley.
