Newly appointed Newcastle AFLW coach Gary van Egmond is targeting A-League Women finals football next season.<\/p>\n

Van Egmond, who replaced Ash Wilson on an interim basis earlier this season, was named full-time mentor on Tuesday despite winning just one of six games with the Jets since joining in February.<\/p>\n

Newcastle sit in 11th spot on the competition ladder – one place off the wooden spoon – with two games remaining.<\/p>\n

But van Egmond says there is no reason the Jets shouldn’t be challenging the likes of Sydney FC, Melbourne Victory and Western United for silverware in the 2023\/24 campaign.<\/p>\n

“I’m excited to stay on as head coach for next season,” van Egmond said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“I’m looking forward to the future and for what we can build for this team.<\/p>\n

“The goal for us is to be back playing finals football and that’s something the club and I will be striving towards.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
