ANNOUNCEMENT | 2026 UNDER 19’s COACHES

Our Under 19s Coaching Group is Locked in again for 2026! We’re thrilled to confirm that Luke Hannon will return as Head Coach, and be joined again by Josh Begley and Jayden Collins as his assistants.

With 8 EFNL premierships between them and experience across AFL, VFL and regional levels, this trio represents the next generation of elite coaching. In 2025 alone, they’ve already developed and mentored 7 current U19 players who’ve gone on to experience senior football — with many more on the verge. The future is bright at the Hawka, and we’re only just getting started.

Keen to be part of something special in 2026? Shoot us a private message — we’d love to hear from you at boroniahawksfc@gmail.com


ANNOUNCEMENT | LUKE HANNON RE-SIGNS

We’re pumped to announce that Luke Hannon has recommitted to the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 season! Our Senior Vice-Captain and Playing Assistant Coach Luke is the ultimate club man. Who continues to be a massive influence both on and off the field.

In 2025, he’s taken charge of our Under 19s as Head Coach, working closely with Josh Begley and Jayden Collins to rebuild our junior pathway. His leadership, care, and footy IQ are already having a huge impact on the next generation of Hawks.

On the field, Luke’s resume speaks for itself:

  • 3 × Senior Premiership Player – 2018, 2023, 2024
  • Blue Ribbon Medal – Best on Ground in the 2018 Grand Final
  • 2× Bob Henry Medallist – Boronia Senior Best & Fairest (2017, 2018)
  • 2018 EFNL Team of the Year.

When the stakes are highest Luke always delivers. He’s the best big game player we’ve seen in the brown and gold. We couldn’t be more excited to have Luke locked in for 2026.

Luke is proudly sponsored by Mark Burton and HISBOS ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS.
