The Western Australian Cricket Association (WACA) is pleased to announce that Noel Knight has today been appointed full-time Assistant Coach of the Western Warriors for three years.

Last season Knight was Western Warriors Assistant Coach on a part-time basis, having been appointed after the position became vacant following Geoff Marsh s appointment as Zimbabwe National Coach.

The Western Warriors Assistant Coach s position was up-graded from part-time to full-time in order to maintain pace with the increasing demands placed on the modern game across all levels.

As well as providing invaluable support to current Warriors Coach Michael Veletta, Knight s duties will also include;

• Coaching WA A in the ACB Cup
• Working with Coaches from U/17 to Warriors level
• Liaising with WACA Club Coaches to assist in the development and implementation of talent identification programs

Knight has forged an enviable record at WACA 1st Grade level (Sunsmart league) over the past decade.

Most recently Knight has taken Subiaco-Floreat to Back2Back 1st Grade Premierships, after winning titles with Scarborough (1994/95) and Bayswater Morley (1998/99).

As an indication of his ability to achieve broad levels of success, Knight has also coached each of his clubs to win the WACA Club Championship award, including Back2Back at Subiaco-Floreat from the past two seasons.
