ASH PRESCOTT TO DEPART CLAREMONT FOOTBALL CLUB

The Claremont Football Club wishes to advise that Senior Coach Ash Prescott will depart the Club after accepting a new role with WA Football.

Ash leaves Claremont with an outstanding coaching record and holding a significant place in the Club’s history. Across ten seasons as League Coach (2004–2007 and 2021–2026), he guided the Tigers to finals appearances in every season, including five Grand Finals. Having coached more than 200 League games, Ash also holds the record for the most wins as League Coach across Claremont’s 100-year history.

His association with the Tigers dates back to 2002, initially coaching the Colts before also representing Claremont as a League player in 2003. His connection to the Club has continued across more than two decades, and he remains a Claremont person through and through.

Beyond his impressive coaching achievements, Ash is highly regarded for his character, strong values, and genuine care for the people around him. He has consistently set high standards, invested in the development of his players and made an enormous contribution to the culture of our football program.

While disappointed to see Ash depart, the Club fully supports his decision and recognises the opportunity ahead of him. We sincerely thank Ash for his leadership, commitment, and outstanding contribution to the Tigers over many years, and wish him and his family all the very best for the future.

The Club will now consider its options regarding the appointment of a new Senior Coach and will provide an update in due course.
