New Coach Announcement

North Ballarat Football Netball Club is thrilled to announce the appointment of former Box Hill VFL coach Clint Proctor as its Senior Football Coach for seasons 2025 and 2026.

 

Proctor comes to North as an accomplished coach at VFL, TSL and NAB League levels. He worked as an assistant under Sam Mitchell in the VFL prior to taking over as the VFL Box Hill coach in 2022. Proctor has a strong emphasis on player development and club culture.

 

NBFNC Director of Football Michael Ryan said the club had undertaken a rigorous recruitment process to secure a new coach, with a number of quality applicants in the mix. 

 

He said Proctor had demonstrated through that process that he had the values as well as the skills that aligned with club philosophy and approach. 

 

“We pride ourselves on the way we develop our players, particularly through the junior program and into seniors, and we believe Clint is well placed with his experience to continue to drive that for us.”
