THE Western Bulldogs have added to their off-field ranks, yesterday announcing the signing of international triathlon coach Bill Davoren.

Davoren will assume the position of head of physical conditioning when he commences at Whitten Oval on November 5.

Davoren ended his six-year stint as Triathlon Australia’s national performance director after this year’s Beijing Olympics.

“This is a very exciting challenge, being involved within the AFL has been a long term goal,” Davoren said in a statement released by the club yesterday.
