After three successful seasons at the helm of our Senior Women’s team, Ryan “Skully” Skouborg will be stepping down as Senior Women’s Coach to pursue a new coaching opportunity with South Adelaide.
Ryan has made a significant contribution to our women’s football program over the past three seasons, guiding the Senior Women to the Finals series in each year of his tenure, including an outstanding 2024 season which saw the team narrowly defeated by Blackwood in the Grand Final.
A highly talented and knowledgeable coach, Ryan brought considerable experience to the role through his involvement with the highly successful South Adelaide SANFL Women’s program, where he has been involved since its inaugural season in 2018.
Throughout his time with the Devils, Ryan has generously shared that knowledge and professionalism with both our players and coaches. His contribution has helped further develop our players, strengthen our coaching group and continue the growth of the respected women’s football program we have at the club.
While we are certainly sad to see Ryan leave, we are extremely pleased and proud to see him take the next step in his coaching journey. Next season, Ryan will join South Adelaide’s Women’s League team as a line coach, taking responsibility for their midfield.
On behalf of everyone at the club, we sincerely thank Ryan for his commitment, hard work and tremendous contribution over the past three seasons. He leaves with the respect and appreciation of our players, coaches and the wider club.
We wish Ryan every success in his new role with South Adelaide next season and look forward to welcoming him back to the club whenever he gets the opportunity.
Once a Devil, always a Devil!! Thanks for everything Skully, and all the very best for your next chapter!!
