Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Danny Fotinatos as our new Men’s Development Coach for the 2026 season.
Danny joins the Club from the Whitehorse Pioneers Football Club, where he has captained their Development Team for the past four seasons. During his time at Whitehorse, Danny established himself as a respected leader, known for his professionalism, composure, and ability to inspire those around him.
Danny brings with him fresh perspectives and valuable insights from a club that has been on the rise in recent years. His leadership experience and deep understanding of the game will make him an outstanding addition to our Men’s coaching group.
Throughout the recruitment process, Danny impressed with his emphasis on developing strong relationships with players. He has a proven record of leading teams in a way that balances high performance with personal growth, and he understands the importance of fostering a positive, accountable, and connected team culture.
Danny’s coaching philosophy is grounded in setting clear standards, building accountability, and uniting players around a shared vision for success. He values clear, consistent, and respectful communication, ensuring that players understand their roles, receive constructive feedback, and feel confident to ask questions.
His adaptable communication style — whether working with players, fellow coaches, parents, or community members — enables him to build trust and rapport across all levels of the club.
The Boronia Hawks FNC is excited to welcome Danny and his partner Steph to the Hawka Nest and we look forward to the energy, leadership, and passion he will bring to our club.
We’re confident that Danny will play an integral role in continuing to strengthen our Men’s football program and in shaping the next generation of Hawks.

Before that, CJ starred at East Ringwood, where his outstanding 2024 season earned him selection in the EFNL Premier Division Team of the Year, a reflection of his consistency, skill, and impact at the top level of community football.
A composed and versatile utility, CJ is known for his clean ball use, footy smarts, and ability to influence games through the midfield and forward of centre.
At just 22, CJ adds leadership, class, and genuine excitement to our senior program as we continue to build towards success in Division 1.
