After six seasons at the Hawthorn Football Club, Assistant Coach Brett Ratten is set to join the St Kilda Football Club at the end of the season.

An integral part of three Premierships in his time at the club, Ratten will start with the Saints at the completion of Hawthorn’s 2018 finals campaign.

GM – Football Graham Wright said Ratten’s influence at Hawthorn has been significant.

“Brett has been a valued and much-loved member of our football club for a long time now and his impact on our playing group, coaches and staff has been immense,” Wright said.

“We’re lucky to have a finals campaign ahead of us, which Brett is fully committed to and we are all focused on where that can possibly take us.

“We would like to thank Brett, his wife Jo and family for their fantastic contribution to our football club.”
