New coaching team for Wyong Roos

Troy Pezet and Mitch Williams

The Wyong Roos have announced Mitch Williams will continue as Denton Engineering Cup head coach and Troy Pezet will be engaged in the new role of coaching director for the 2024 season.

The two are expected to will take the Wyong Roos to a whole new level in Rugby League.

Pezet will support Williams as a coach and build the programs which will develop and retain the next generation of Wyong Roos.

The announcement comes on the back of Wyong qualifying for the first time for the DEC Finals Series, largely due to Williams’ hard work and expertise at the helm.

Wyong Roos Operation Manager Stephen Marks said the decision to reappoint Williams was an easy one.

“The way the younger players have developed on his watch and the calibre of player he has been able to retain and bring to the club speaks to the efficacy of his methods and the character of the man,” he said.

“Troy brings fresh eyes, a different perspective and a wealth of experience to our program.

“He will challenge our processes and leverage our strengths to take our football program to new level.”

Pezet will oversee two crucial programs which will underpin the club’s success in the coming years.

The first is a revolutionary coaching program which supports and develops coaches through education and training programs.

The second is a player development program which focuses on delivering clear pathways for young Roos while developing their skills and knowledge of the game.

“With any program there are always areas to polish and shine but I’m confident with some small adjustments and a few extra things in place for next year the Roos will continue to improve,” Pezet said.

Williams said he was delighted to continue as Wyong Roos Denton Cup Coach.

“It has been a privilege to be the Wyong Roos Denton Cup coach and I’m ecstatic to continue to lead this fantastic group of players in 2024,” he said.

Wyong Roos Football Chairman Joseph Smith said the appointments position the club with a strong coaching team to navigate the changes coming in 2024 and continues its history of being one of the best resourced and most professional rugby league programs outside the NRL.
