The EDFL would like to announce the appointment of Andrew Johnston as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Andrew arrives at Windy Hill with a wealth of knowledge and experience in football, while most recently leading a national sporting organisation.
After spending nearly a decade at AFL Victoria, Andrew was instrumental in the establishment of the inaugural Gold Coast Suns Academy during the early iterations of the club’s history, before assuming the Head Coach position at the Calder Cannons where he saw eight EDFL juniors get drafted in to AFL senior ranks. In between, Andrew has spent time in various coaching and mentorship roles within football, including in the EDFL .
EDFL Chairman Bernie Shinners formally welcomed the new CEO on behalf of the EDFL Board of Management.
“We’d like to warmly welcome Andrew back to the EDFL who not only brings strong ties back into the League, but a vast array of experience.
“Andrew was the preferred candidate from a strong list of applicants, and in conjunction with our clubs and major partners, the EDFL has an exciting future that we believe Andrew, in this leadership role, will greatly contribute to the League.”
Andrew will commence on Tuesday February 28.
