“The style of play will be different to what most of these players have known for a few years and it will be a challenge to try and continue to build on previous success, but we feel that Nathan is a great fit for the program and I will enjoy watching his progress in the coming years . “   - Alan McAughtry

“I would like to thank Diamond Valley for giving me this opportunity to Head Coach the Youth League team, it is an exciting time for the program with an abundance of talented players at the club and some exciting juniors coming through from the Academy Programs.

Given the clubs recent history of producing good juniors, I am excited to help continue that development both within the junior and senior program. With the appointment of CEO, Ross Wignell, the club is heading in the right direction that I am sure will see continued success in the near future “
