Werribee premiership coach Jimmy Allan and football manager Ash Collins have signed on until the end until at least the end of the 2026 Victorian Football League season.

The Tigers announced on Wednesday that the pair would be at the club for at least the next two seasons.

They joined the club last off season and helped guide the club to its first premiership in more than 30 years.

President Martin Carter said it is a fitting end to an incredible season for the club.

“Everyone at the club has celebrated the premiership success and rightly so, but now it is time to look ahead and we have the two best football people secured,” he said. “I hope supporters will become members, members will re-sign early and the community joins us to share in this very exciting time for the club”

Training and planning for the 2025 season is well under way for both Allan and Collins along with the finalisation of the playing list and changes to staff.

Allan is pleased with how things are developing.

“The premiership changed where we are as a club in many ways but internally it has not changed our values, work ethic and commitment,” he said.

“For Ash and I having the stability of this long-term commitment allows us to focus on our core objectives for the club.

“We are grateful that the board has seen fit to extend our time and we’re excited about the opportunity to continue to play our part in leading the club forward. The 2024 premiership is now part of the club’s rich history. Let’s move onto the next chapter.”
