The Carlton Football Club has strengthened its recruiting operations with the appointment of Luke Williams as Recruiting Manager.

Williams, the long-serving 2IC to Geelong’s Recruiting and List Manager Stephen Wells, joins Wayne Hughes and the recently-appointed Michael Jordan on a revamped recruiting line-up headed by National Recruiting Manager Shane Rogers.

"I really loved my time with Geelong and will always have fond memories of what we achieved together,” Williams said following his appointment. “However, I  am excited that I can now direct my energies towards helping Carlton achieve success by being part of the recruiting team.”

Rogers said that Williams brought with him the knowledge of 14 years’ experience under the much-respected Wells, and added that his appointment “completes the restructure of Carlton’s recruiting team”.

“We are very excited Luke has joined us. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge having worked in this industry for a long time and having been part of a successful environment,” Rogers said.

“One of the club’s goals is to bring good people to the club and Luke certainly fits the bill."

Williams takes up his appointment with Carlton from next Monday.
