Geelong Cats General Manager of Football Andrew Mackie said the Club is pleased to have Rahilly return to the Cats and form part of Chris Scott’s 2024 coaching staff.
“We are excited to welcome James and his family back to Geelong Football Club.
“Spending the last three years at the Crows has seen James continue to develop his coaching skills to become one of the most highly regarded and respected coaches in the competition.
“It is always important to bring good people with strong values into an organisation and James epitomises that, so we are thrilled James will continue his coaching career back at Geelong and we look forward to him working with Chris, our current coaches and our playing group.”
