Meadow Park has announced that Danny Moore will coach the club following the decision of Ian Anderson to step down as coach.
The Eagles announced that Anderson had stood down for personal reasons and to allow him to spend more time with his young family.
“Ian’s decision is entirely personal and was made amicably and with the full support of the club,” the club said on social media.
“While we are naturally disappointed to see Ian step away, we fully respect and support his decision and thank him sincerely for his outstanding contribution to our club.
“Ian has been an invaluable addition to our club. In his first season as senior coach, he led our senior men to the state league 5 north premiership, a significant achievement and one that will remain a proud chapter in our club’s history.
“Beyond results, Ian has played a key role in building a strong, respectful and united culture across our senior playing group – one founded on accountability, professionalism and genuine care for one another.
“Ian will always remain an important member of the Meadow Park Soccer Club family and will retain a special place in our club’s history.”
The club said after an abbreviated but thorough and considered process, the committee had appointed Danny Moore as its new coach.
The club said that Moore was at the club for the right reasons.
“Danny brings a wealth of experience across senior playing and coaching pathways, with more than two decades involved at senior level,” the club said.
“As a player, he enjoyed a long and successful career, including multiple league titles and exposure to strong senior environments that shaped his understanding of elite standards, preparation, and winning cultures.
“Transitioning into coaching, Danny has built an impressive CV across senior and youth programs, including head coaching roles at senior men’s level.
“He has demonstrated genuine alignment with the club’s values and a clear commitment to carrying forward the culture, standards, and unity established within our senior program. The committee is confident he will be an excellent custodian of the environment built under Ian’s leadership and a strong culture carrier moving forward.”
Anderson will work with Moore through a handover period.
