St Kilda have
landed a significant off-field recruit, with Melbourne Storm legend
Billy Slater joining the club as leadership consultant.
The
multiple premiership-winning full-back and former Queensland captain has
agreed to terms with the Saints, in a newly created role in which we
will work part-time in the football department.
On top of his work
with leadership and development, Fairfax Media also understands that
Slater will also help out with small on-field roles, including tackling
coaching.
The Saints’ head of football Simon Lethlean said it was a huge addition to Moorabbin.
“Billy’s sporting resume is second to none, and he will add great value to our club,” Lethlean said.
“He’s
been an impressive leader in his own right, but he’s also been a key
member of a culture that is highly respected across all sports.
“Over
the course of the season, we identified that there was an opportunity
to strengthen our leadership and development programs, and we think
Billy can play an important role in that.
“He will work closely
with our current leaders as well as our emerging leaders to help them
develop their leadership capacity and optimise their professionalism and
performance.”
Slater announced his retirement from rugby league
in early August and completed his 16th season and 319th game at the
highest level with a disappointing Storm grand final loss against the
Roosters.
"This finish is not how we planned, but that's footy," Slater said after the game.
He nearly didn’t play in the game, having to overturn a shoulder charge at the NRL judiciary earlier in the week.
Slater, who will also work with the Storm as a specialist coach, is expected to start at the Saints early in the pre-season.
In further good news at Moorabbin, one of the club’s two principal partners, Pepper Money has re-signed for a further two years.
