St Kilda Football Club advises that assistant coach David Teague will leave the club to take up a position as an assistant coach at Adelaide.

Teague spent one year at the Saints, looking after the club’s backline.

He has been appointed forwards coach at the Crows under new senior coach Phil Walsh, with whom he worked closely at West Coast prior to his arrival at Linen House Centre at the end of 2013.

St Kilda Head of Football Chris Pelchen acknowledged Teague’s contribution to the Saints.

“We thank David for his time at St Kilda and we wish him well for his future endeavours,” Pelchen said.
