Lilywhites Women’s Head Coach Katie Duncan has decided to move on from her role at Eastern Suburbs AFC.
The former Football Fern has taken an exciting opportunity to work full-time in football.
Duncan started at the Lilywhites last season and took the team to the National League in 2024.
With the team currently sitting in third in the LOTTO NRFL Women’s Premiership, Duncan admits that the move is difficult but is grateful for everyone’s support during her time at the club.

“While I look forward to the next chapter in my coaching journey, it’s difficult to be leaving such a great bunch of players as well as staff” Duncan said.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported me during my time at Eastern Suburbs.”
With the Lilywhites Premier Women not in action this weekend, Duncan’s last session with the team was tonight.
Thank you for the past two seasons Katie! All the best on your next move!
The club will announce a new Women’s Head Coach in due course.
