Rohan Smith will enter his eighth season as the Bulldogs’ backline coach in 2023.

Smith began his coaching career at the Club as the skills acquisition coach in 2012, before taking charge of the backline as assistant coach from 2013 to 2016.

From 2017-19, Smith took on the role of AFL Development Manager, helping to develop the Bulldogs’ emerging talent, but returned to the backline in 2020.

It follows his decorated playing career in the red, white and blue, where the dual All-Australian (1997, 2003) managed 300 games across a 16-year career at the top level.
