St Kilda Football Club can confirm that Nick Walsh has departed the club.

Walsh joined the Saints as its Head of Performance and Conditioning ahead of the 2021 pre-season to oversee the club’s strength and conditioning team.

Acting General Manager David Misson acknowledged Walsh for his efforts and contributions during his time.

“On behalf of everyone at the Saints, I want to thank Nick for his tireless work across the football program since joining, including his work in setting up our fitness program for this current season,” Misson said.

“Nick has brought a high-level of professionalism and dedication to the role which has seen him win great respect with staff and players.

“Nick indicated to us this week that he wanted to take a break from his role at the Club and look to what’s next in his professional career. We fully support his decision to do so and wish him all the very best.”
