FORMER Port Adelaide and Hawthorn premiership player Stuart Dew has joined the Swans as an assistant coach.
Dew will be the club's development coach, a role which became available following the departure of Brett Allison to North Melbourne.
Dew will join Stuart Maxfield and Daniel McPherson in the development department.
“We are extremely pleased to add a person of Stuart’s character and extraordinary playing background to our coaching team,” coach Paul Roos said.
“Coming from two excellent clubs in Port Adelaide and Hawthorn, and having won premierships with both, he will bring a wealth of experience and knowledge that he will be able to pass onto our players.”
Dew will officially start at the club on Monday
