Josh Fraser appointed permanent Carlton senior coach
The Carlton Football Club has officially appointed Josh Fraser as its permanent AFL senior coach. The 44-year-old, a former No. 1 overall draft pick, secured the role following a rigorous recruitment process.
Fraser’s appointment follows a significant turnaround for the Blues. After taking over as interim coach in May following the departure of Michael Voss, the team had a record of just one win from nine games. Under Fraser’s leadership, the club achieved 10 wins, one draw, and two losses in 13 matches, successfully securing an improbable wildcard finals berth.
Carlton president Rob Priestley and CEO Graham Wright praised Fraser’s leadership and coaching credentials, noting that he emerged as the standout candidate due to his professional qualities and innovative mindset. Fraser is expected to sign a multi-year contract, potentially lasting at least three years.
