WESTERN Storm have announced that Trevor Griffin will be returning as head coach.

He previously held the role from 2017 until 2019 and in that time the Storm lifted the KIA Super League trophy twice, becoming the most successful team in the competitions history.

Trevor will take up the role following this season’s Charlotte Edwards Cup. Therefore, interim Head Coach, Dan Helesfay will remain in charge for the current T20 competition.

Upon his return, Trevor said: “I’m delighted to be returning to Western Storm, this is an incredibly exciting time to be involved in the women’s game and the opportunity to help shape the game at every level within a region that means so much to me was too good to turn down.

“Obviously, the goal is to help Western Storm win silverware, but equally important is ensuring that the structure within the region continues to produce quality players who go on to achieve their ambition of playing this game that we love at a professional level.”

Lisa Pagett, regional director of women’s cricket said: “We are delighted that Trevor will be returning to Western Storm.

"He played a huge role in Western Storm becoming the most successful side in the KSL and he also helped a lot of players develop and fulfil their ambitions during that time. I have no doubt that he will help take Western Storm to the next level.
