Eagles to wait on Worsfold contract

Posted May 9, 2011 13:30:00

West Coast will put contract negotiations with coach John Worsfold on hold until the end of the season.

Worsfold, who is out of contract at the end of the season, started the year under immense pressure to produce results after last year's wooden spoon campaign.

The Eagles have shown drastic improvement this year and sit 10th on the table with a 3-3 win-loss record ahead of Sunday's Derby against Fremantle.

But despite the on-field improvement, Eagles chief executive Trevor Nisbett says a decision on Worsfold's future will not be made until the end of the campaign.

"John's aware of his position, it will happen at the end of the year," Nisbett said.

"John's working with the players to ensure we get the best performance week in, week out and to date we've been extremely competitive.

"It makes John's position a little easier because he's seeing good performances from the players he believes in.

"We're three and three so we've got a lot of work to do yet. But our performances have been much better."
