Hawthorn has had a departure from its scouting team, with recruiting manager
Nathan Foley joining the AFL.
Foley, who played 154 games for Richmond before retiring in 2015, then joined the Hawks as the head of the club's Next Generation Academy.
He stepped into more of a recruiting position in 2020 and has been a central part of the club's recruiting and list management team in the past three seasons.
But Foley has left the Hawks and taken up a position in the AFL's commercial department and recently started with the League. The role is separate to the AFL's football operations team.
