Hawthorn Football Club President Jeff Kennett has today introduced new CEO Justin Reeves to staff and players. 

Kennett affirmed that Reeves’ appointment marks an exciting time for the Hawks, but reiterated that no individual is bigger than the club. 

“We’re thrilled to have Justin on board and we’re extremely confident that he is the right person to lead the club in its next lap of history.

“While we’re excited about this new chapter, each individual is aware that we are only temporary custodians of the Hawthorn Football Club, with the overarching aim of leaving the club in a better position than we found it.

“We’ve got a fantastic group of staff and players who respect and live by the club’s values, and we can’t wait to launch into the 2018 season and beyond.”
