HASTINGS FNC has appointed a new senior coach. Hastings is looking to bounce back after a tumultuous 2024. Financial issues at the Hastings Club have put the football club in a tenuous position, and its seniors side recorded just three wins for the year in Division Two.
Last week, the club announced it had appointed Kevin Lylak as its new senior coach. In a statement, the club said Lylak had signed on for 2025 “and beyond”. “We are super excited for the experience and leadership Kev will bring to our young exciting list. Please join us in welcoming Kevin, his wife Bibsy, and children Chevy, Jedd and Zeke to the HFNC family,” a club statement read. “It’s our time to thrive in 2025.”
Lylak joins Hastings from Frankston YCW, where he is regarded highly. As a player he recorded more than 200 senior games, and was a seven time premiership player. He captained his side to two flags. Lylak was also named in the VFL and MPFNL representative teams during his playing career.
