The Western Bulldogs have announced Justin Cordy as the Club’s new High Performance Manager on Friday afternoon.

Cordy will return to the Kennel after six years at Carlton Football Club as the Blues' High Performance Manager.

Prior to this Cordy held the position of Physical Performance Manager at Cricket Australia (2005 - 2007) and held the same post at the Western Bulldogs from 2004 to 2005.

Graham Lowe, Bulldogs General Manager of Football said the Club was thrilled with the appointment.

“We are really pleased to have a person of Justin’s experience and professionalism come on board at such an exciting time in our development," Lowe said.

Cordy who will start at the Club in November said today that he was looking forward to tackling the important role.

“I think there’s an exciting brand here at the Western Bulldogs – certainly you see that on the field in the way that the players have gone about their football this season,” Cordy said today.

“That was certainly a big stimulus for me coming across and working for the Western Bulldogs Football Club."
