Wantirna South FC is in the Eastern Football League in Division 1.
The club is very lucky to have some great sponsors within the commercial Electrical and Carpentry spaces. Their support is unwavering and extends to offering potential recruits the opportunity for full-time employment that join Wantirna South FC.
The opportunity that exists, is for full-time employment, either for a qualified Electrician or Carpenter on a commercial building site. This offer also extends to those looking for an apprenticeship in these fields.
This recruit must be of strong character and values, and have a reputable football CV with a proven football history or come from a TAC environment. Must be located within the East or South East of Melbourne.
This is a great opportunity to gain employment in a sort after section of the Building Industry as well as being part of a Football Club that is developing itself into a leading football organisation with the EFL.

Life member Mick Gillin (Football Operations) has stepped down as a member of the General Committee. We thank Mick for everything he has done for the club over many years. Thankfully Mick will still be helping out where and when he can, and support the players with their footy.
The club thanks U19 coach Paul Riley who has joined the General committee for 2019. His input and leadership will be invaluable.
The Club also welcomes Koray Barkut to the General committee. A former player who has always remained a strong clubman by contributing to help the club in many ways. His leadership and passion for the club is a great asset for all Devils.

A Senior Womans football team at the Devils?
At the Junior Devils (Wantirna South Junior FC), there are an enthusiastic group of young girls playing footy and many more have come along to try outs in recent times. They are led and organised by volunteers who are outstanding in their passion for footy and the girls playing the game there.
We always aim to be a Senior footy club for all players from the Junior club to aspire to play for. Currently we don’t have a senior Women’s football team, and don’t have anything to offer current female footballers.
Keeping the community together today and in the future is important to the club. Therefore, we intend to plan & prepare at providing this opportunity to female footballers too. The benefits of adding more opportunities to play football and be a part of a strong community affects everyone in a positive way.

The Devils are pleased to announce Paul Riley will continue as the U19 coach for season 2019. It will be Paul’s 3rd season as U19 coach at the Devils.
Paul’s main objective is to transition players from junior footy and prepare them to be senior players of the future. His leadership style ensures the players enjoy their footy together whilst challenging them to become team players.
Most of the 2019 squad will be in their second year of U19’s together which should see further improvement after playing some very good footy at times in 2018.
The Devils future stars are in good hands with Paul Riley in charge.
