The Sherwood Football Club are delighted to welcome (back) Brett ‘Noodles’ McEvoy as Assistant Coach for the QAFL Seniors.

Brett is a highly experienced player and coach, playing all his junior football with Sherwood before graduating to the Senior side in the late 90’s.  He then moved to Moranbah for work reasons where he played a further 3 years of Senior footy, including two best & fairest medals for the Moranbah Bulldogs.

Brett then returned to Sherwood where he won the 2010 QAFL Reserves League Best & Fairest before ‘retiring’ to the Woodsmen where he achieved the elusive Premiership in 2014.

He began his coaching journey in 2009 as the Met North u12 coach and then Assistant to the QLD u12 side. He was then appointed head coach of the QLD u12 side in 2016 and has held numerous other development and youth representative coaching roles including Brisbane North u16s for 3 seasons.  In addition to his efforts in youth coaching, he was then appointed midfield coach for the Brisbane Lions Academy and was the runner for the Brisbane Lions NEAFL team. He also coached the Sherwood QAFL Colts in 2017 alongside Reid Dobson, taking them to the Grand Final.

Brett is a familiar face at Sherwood through his playing days, and importantly – he is a very familiar face to both our current and future playing group, having coached many of our senior squad in the Lions Academy and junior representative sides.  He is also an excellent conduit alongside Football Director Darren Resuggan into the Sherwood youth program where many of his current and former charges are eying a Senior debut in coming years.

It’s hugely exciting to have ‘Noodles’ back down at the club for season 2021 and beyond.
