CONCA PURSUES COACHING ROLEFormer Fremantle and Richmond player Reece Conca is pursuing coaching opportunities in Melbourne after his playing career came to an end in August.
The 150-game midfielder/defender is in discussions with multiple Melbourne clubs about combining a VFL contract with a development coaching position or role as a player development manager.
Conca has completed his level three coaching course, a certificate in counselling and AFLPA certificates in player development and business management.
The 29-year-old, who played 104 games with Richmond, crossed to Fremantle as a free agent at the end of 2018 and was part of the Dockers' leadership group for the past three seasons.
A popular teammate, he performed several shutdown roles on the game's best small forwards and fell just short of triggering a contract extension to play on in 2022. – Nathan Schmook
