The long-time deputy, who spent eight seasons with St Kilda between 2011-2018 before moving to Richmond and being part of the Tigers’ 2019 and 2020 premierships, has been named as the Giants’ third ever full time senior coach.
“It’s a privilege and an honour to be the next senior coach of the Giants,” Kingsley said in a statement released by the club on Monday.
“I’ve been clear in my aspirations to become a senior coach and over the last 16 years I’ve continued to learn and develop to the point now where I’m absolutely ready to take the next step in my coaching career.
“This is a club which has built a strong culture from the ground up in just a few short years. In just 11 years the Giants have made multiple preliminary finals, and a Grand Final, and while the ultimate success has eluded the club, it’s clear the building blocks are in place.
“It’s clear the players, staff, members and fans are hungry for success, and we’re going to drive each other to get to where we want to go. I believe in this club and what we can achieve together.”
