Old Xavs, McDonald part ways

By Nick Armistead · April 24, 2018
Old Xavs, McDonald part ways

Old Xaverians recently announced James McDonald resigned from his position as senior coach effective immediately.

Please read the clubs’ statement below:

“Our club sadly announces that James McDonald has decided to resign from the role of Senior Coach, with effect immediately. We regretfully accept James’ decision to not continue in the role.

We thank James for his time and commitment to this important role and to the Old Xaverians Football Club over the last two seasons. We wish James and Annabelle and their young family all the best for the future.

The club will now commence a thorough process to appoint the best person for this role in the longer term. We will update the Old Xavs community more fully as we have further information to provide.

Our immediate focus is on this weekend’s match at Old Brighton. We would love all the Old Xavs to get down there to support our senior players as they strive for their first win of the season.”
