Ken Hinkley now the Eagles' top target in race to replace Adam Simpson
By SEN
Ken Hinkley is near the top of West Coast’s list of candidates for their vacant senior coaching position, according to SEN’s Tim Gossage.
Hinkley is in the first year of a two-year contract extension at Port Adelaide, though there has been consistent tension regarding his future at the helm.
“I think he is the number one target,” Gossage told SEN WA Breakfast.
“I think the shift has been significant in the last 48 hours.
“I’m confident he is near the top of their shopping list. You can’t come out and say he’ll get the job because it is a massive process, but I do believe his name has soared into contention at West Coast.”
The Eagles appointed Jarrad Schofield as interim head coach following the removal of Simpson.
Hinkley has been head coach at Port Adelaide since late 2012.
