Carlton have announced highly touted coach Cameron Bruce as their senior assistant coach from next season onwards.
Bruce makes the move to the Blues from Hawthorn, after serving as Alastair Clarkson's assistant coach since 2013, after retiring from football in 2012, following a 234-game career with Melbourne and the Hawks.
Bruce comes to Carlton and will be re-united with Brendon Bolton once again, after the pair were Clarkson's assistants between 2013-2015.
“Cameron has impressive credentials and his playing experience and knowledge of the modern game will be a terrific asset for our young playing group,” Carlton's head of football Andrew McKay told carltonfc.com.au.
“As we broaden our coaching panel, Cameron will be working closely with Brendon and our line coaches around strategy and analytics.
“As we continue to grow and build our football program, Cameron will be a wonderful addition to our skilled coaching panel. We look forward to welcoming him to the Club for the start of the upcoming pre-season campaign.”
Bruce will join current assistant coaches John Barker, Dale Amos, Tim Clarke and Shane Watson at the Blues, and will officially begin in his new role at the start of the upcoming pre-season.
