Langwarrin plans to make full use of Jarred Moore’s AFL experience after adding the former Sydney Swan to its coaching panel in the MPNFL.

Jarred Moore is going back to where it all started, taking up an assistant coaching role with Langwarrin in the MPNFL Division 2.

The 35-year-old will be midfield coach in what the Kangaroos are hailing a recruiting coup.

“He’s a fantastic addition,” Langwarrin co-coach Josh Beard said.

“We’re incredibly lucky to have his experience at our disposal, he gives us so much more capacity to grow and improve from within.

“We are absolutely stoked.”

Langwarrin was 12-1 when Covid killed off the 2021 season.

Moore returns to Lloyd Park, where he played as a kid, after nine years of coaching experience in the AFL system.

He was a long-time assistant and development coach at AFL club North Melbourne.

This year Moore was senior coach of Uni Blues in the VAFA.

Much like another top-line Sydney Swan, Luke Parker, Moore grew up in Langwarrin and played all of his juniors at the footy club.

He captained the Dandenong Stingrays and was drafted by Sydney in 2004.

Moore spent seven seasons with the Swans, playing 68 games as a midfielder-forward.

He had an outstanding 2008 before his season was ended prematurely against Collingwood at the MCG when he bravely backed back into a pack and had his lung punctured.

After being delisted by the Swans at the end of 2012, Moore joined VFL club Werribee and won back-to-back best and fairest awards in 2013-14.

Moore was also an outstanding cricketer in his younger days.

At 14, he played in Langwarrin’s MPCA Provincial premiership in 2000-01.

Playing for Frankston Peninsula as a 17-year-old, Moore snared the wickets of Nick Jewell and Graeme Rummans in Victoria Premier Cricket’s grand final in March 2003 but decided to throw all his energy towards being drafted in 2004.

Langwarrin has assembled a strong coaching panel for 2022, led by co-coaches Beard and Blake McCormack and including Brett Mills, Frankston YCW premiership player Daniel Anderson and Shaun Staggard.

The Kangas have made a strong start to their recruiting, regaining quality midfielder Josh Bateman from Dromana and signing Tyabb’s Brad Harbinson.
