Roys keeping it in the family with women’s coaching appointment

Article originally posted by Fitzroy Football Club

Fitzroy is keeping it all in the family with the appointment of Mick Symons to the role of Senior Women’s Coach, to lead the Fitzroy-ACU team into its first season with the VAFA.

Mick, who played for Box Hill under 19s in the VFA and for Surrey Hills, is also the father of Will Symons, who burst onto the Fitzroy senior scene last year with some eye-catching games, up from the very successful Under 19s side.

“I have a long connection with Fitzroy through Will’s eight seasons with the club,” Mick said.

“After assisting Tim Bell with the Under 19s and Monty Stuart and John Ryan with the Colts, I’m keen to get involved with the development of the Fitzroy-ACU women’s team.”
