Hawthorn Football Club Chief of Football Graham Wright has resigned from his position at the club to explore other opportunities. 
 
Wright has been an important member of the Hawks football department since 2007, originally in recruiting and list management before stepping into the Head of Football role at the beginning of the 2018 season.
 
Hawthorn CEO Justin Reeves said the club was fully supportive of Wright’s decision.
 
“Graham has given this club incredible service and we will be forever grateful for his contribution and commitment to the brown and gold,” said Reeves.
 
“While it is always disappointing to lose someone of Graham’s calibre, we are also supportive of his decision and understand that the time is right for Graham to seek a new challenge.
 
“On behalf of everyone at Hawthorn I would like to wish Graham, Tracey, Ethan and James all the best for the next chapter of their lives.”
 
Wright will finish with the club this week. 
 

Hawthorn GM Football Operations Rob McCartney will step in as Acting Head of Football while the club undergoes a process to fill the role.
