After his 2 years at the Helm, Matt Corbitt has informed the club he will be relocating to Cairns to further his studies and career in the medical field. Matt was integral in leading the strategic shift of the club creating a culture first approach. In his rookie season in charge, Matt led the club to its 6th GBL Division 1 championship as large underdogs. This feat was incredible and cemented the direction of the club for many years to follow. We at SPBC want to wish Matt the best and thank him for all his efforts. Looking forward to seeing you at the club again in the near future.
Thank you Matt!
