Port Adelaide has appointed Darren Burgess as its new fitness coach for the 2005 AFL season.
The club said Burgess, currently lecturing at the Australian Catholic University's school of exercise science in Sydney, would replace Andrew Russell, who recently returned to Victoria for family reasons.
Burgess has also worked with the Parramatta Power Soccer Club, the Australian Olympic soccer team in the lead-up to the Athens Games and with the Sydney Swans.
He was expected to take up his position with the AFL premiers in November.
