Senior Coaches
The Flinders Park Football Club Inc. are excited to announce Josh Gould as our men’s A grade coach for season 2023. Josh brings a wealth of experience to the role with a long and successful playing and coaching career in country and metropolitan SA, and most recently coached the Hummocks Watchman Eagles to a flag in 2019. He joined us as an assistant coach in 2022 and was highly regarded by the late Peter Scheuffele from their time together at Walkerville, and quickly built a rapport with our senior players. We were able to see first hand his influences on the group this year, and his clear vision for success and strong focus on continuing to build our culture made him the stand out candidate.
We welcome Josh to the role along with his partner Dusty and children Kai and Cooper to the club.
Since joining Flinders Park in 2001 Jarrod has fulfilled a variety of roles; player for ten years, junior coach, runner, assistant coach, and in 2015 took the reins of our B grade and has become arguably one of the best reserve grade coaches in league history by guiding young teams to Premiership glory in 2016, 2018 and 2019 as well as runner up finishes in 2017, 2020 and 2021.
Jarrod’s enthusiasm and love for the Flinders Park Football Club is infectious among the playing group and his strong focus on match day simulation at training provides a great preparation for our senior squads. He is an expert at finding the right mix of youth and experience and it is no fluke that many of the younger players that have been nurtured in his side are solid A graders today.
A great club man for over 20 years now, 'Platts' has played at all levels over his 15+ year playing career and is one of the more genuine and passionate characters at the club. His coaching career started initially with the C grade in 2016 and in 2017 he was promoted to the B grade, and his positive and encouraging attitude is a major reason our players have been able to perform at a high standard every week and achieve the ultimate success with Premierships in 2018 and 2019.
