The Ghosts are pleased to announce the appointments of a former Australian Test Cricketer and a former Australian Southern Stars Coach to head our Men’s and Women’s coaching teams for the coming season.

Men’s Head Coach – Jason Krezja

Former Australian Test spinner Jason Krejza has accepted the role with great excitement about working with our young players.

Jason Krejza was an off-spinning, batting all-rounder who has represented Australia in both Test Match and One Day International cricket. He famously debuted in the 2008 Test Series in India, taking 12 wickets, including 8 wickets in the first innings alone – gaining entry into the record books. Jason was also a part of the 2011 Australian World Cup Squad touring India as the specialist spinner.

Jason played first-class cricket for the NSW Blues and the Tasmanian Tigers for over ten years and also represented the Hobart Hurricanes in the 20/20 Big Bash, earning Player of the Year in two consecutive seasons. He has since retired due to injuries and is now coaching the next generation of Australian cricketers.

Jason is a Cricket Australia Level 3 accredited coach. He has many years of coaching experience, and his CV includes:

• Head Coach of the North Sydney District Cricket Club

• Cricket NSW Spin Coach – U15s Youth Squads

• Team Coach at NSW State Challenge

• AW Green Shield Head Coach – North Sydney DCC

• Specialist Team Coach – The Kings School

The Ghosts would like to welcome Jason to the club to work with our talented young players. Jason has created a coaching philosophy that revolves around guiding each player in the right direction while giving hints along the way to help players develop a technique that is efficient, successful, and ultimately their own.

Steve’s appointment pays respect to the enormous talent that the Ghost's female players possess and have produced over the years. Senior players have responded with enthusiasm to his appointment. Australian Southern Star and Ghosts 1st Grader Hannah Darlington commented that “all of the Ghosts girls will benefit greatly from his expertise and coaching style. He will certainly assist in their development and preparing those heading to the next level.”

Steve will work closely with other coaches in preparing the Senior and Brewer Shield Teams. With a Cricket Australia Level 3 coaching accreditation, Steve is well placed to take on the position, and we warmly welcome him to the club.
