Tweed Seagulls RLFC are very happy to announce the appointment of Shaun Davison as the 2025 BMD Premiership Head Coach. 

“It is an honour to be named head coach of the Tweed Seagulls BMD side in 2025. It is an incredible opportunity. I’m eager to bring my experience, ideas, and passion for the game to the team. I look forward to working with the players and helping them develop their games. There’s a strong foundation already, and I’m excited to see how we can build on this and grow individually and as a team”

“Success for this team will be a collaborative effort between staff and players. Before the pre-season starts, we will sit down and define what success looks like for us. I want to instill the importance of not winning but creating winning habits, finding some important metrics the girls want to implement, and then having a laser focus on this. I want all the players to look back at the end of the season and be proud of what they have accomplished and how they have represented themselves, the community, and the club. And most of all, I want all the ladies to enjoy their football and embrace the challenges ahead”

Speaking on culture “I won’t use the word culture too much; what we create will be built on our actions and habits. That will decide our culture—resilience, accountability, belonging, and continuous improvement will be some of the focus areas. I want the players to take ownership of their development individually and as a team. I’ll emphasise hard work, respect for each other, and a commitment to pushing our limits. We will give our best, and create a meaning of what it is to be a Tweed Seagull”

Davison coached two Northern Rivers Titans Andrew John Cups sides to win the NSW Country Championships in 2019 & 2022 which included players like Tom Weaver, Oskar Bryant, and Zane Harrison. 

Also on the coaching resume is U16 NSW Country Coach 2019, 2021, 2023 & 2024, 2022 RISE Head Coach, 5 x Group One Junior Premierships, current Future Titans Academy coach plus many more.

Tweed Seagulls RLFC CEO Brendon Lindsay commented on the appointment of Davison as the new Head Coach. 

“Shaun has extensive experience in coaching both females and males gained over many years in the Northern Rivers.  He currently works between our club and the Titans in a Development and Pathway role, and we see this appointment as an important step to strengthen and streamline our female program.

“Shaun’s coaching philosophy aligns to our clubs’ belief of developing people first.  He is meticulous in his preparation and overall a quality human.”

We wish Davison all the best in 2025
