Point Cook Centrals have locked in its man to lead it in next year’s Western Football League division 1 season.
The Sharks knew early in the piece that Dean Chambers won’t continue on next season and started their coaching hunt early on.
The club announced last week that Justin Abrams had been appointed their coach for next season.
“Justin joins us with an extraordinary depth of experience, proven leadership, and an unwavering passion for the game,” the Sharks said on social media.
“Guided by a coaching philosophy built on continuous growth, he is committed to unlocking the full potential of every player, fostering a relentless drive for excellence, and shaping a winning culture grounded in hard work, discipline, and learning from every challenge.
“Currently serving as general manager of business operations at the Werribee Football Club (VFL), Justin’s coaching journey has spanned the VFL, AFL Talent League, and the Bendigo, Ballarat, and Central Highlands football leagues, where he has consistently built strong, competitive teams.
“We are excited for the future as Justin leads the Sharks into 2026 and beyond — a future of determination, unity, and success.”
Abrams takes on the role at a club that has looked to give their youngsters plenty of opportunity this season.
The club sits in 12th spot heading into the final round of the season, but there is no relegation this season after the addition of three sides.
On Saturday, it was a tough day for the Sharks who lost to Caroline Springs, 26.13 (169)-3.6 (24).
