The West Coast Eagles will farewell three long-serving and dedicated recruiters after finalising an assessment of the club’s AFL List Management and Recruiting structure.

After decades of outstanding service, Trevor Woodhouse, Stephen Nash and Neil Ross will not continue in their roles in 2025.

Formerly the club’s recruiting manager, Woodhouse has been employed as a weekend scout in recent years, while Nash and Ross have been assessing talent while based in Victoria. 

“After an assessment of the List Management and Recruiting structure which was finalised after the recent AFL Draft, new roles were identified to progress the club into the next level of data analytics as well as draft strategy and player movement,” Head of Football John Worsfold said.

“This meant a restructure of the department and, after years of dedicated service, Trevor Woodhouse has finished up with the club, while Stephen Nash and Neil Ross will conclude their time with us in December.

“Trevor is part of the fabric of the club and has been involved in all four AFL premierships, seven Grand Finals and countless finals series across 32 years in our recruiting department, where he helped identify champions of our club.

“Stephen’s connection to the club runs deep. Over the past 30 years, his unwavering passion and commitment have been remarkable.

“Through his leadership, care and behind-the-scenes efforts, Stephen has been instrumental in building the club’s legacy.

“Neil, during his two tenures with the club, has demonstrated a unique ability to connect with people and foster an inclusive, supportive environment.

“His passion for helping others has defined his approach, earning him the respect and admiration of both staff and players.”
