After more than 18 years playing and coaching at the West Coast Eagles Dean Cox is departing the club.

Cox, the club’s games record holder with 290 games, is set to join the Sydney Swans to continue the next phase of his coaching development.

West Coast Eagles chief executive Trevor Nisbett said Cox’s imprint on the West Coast Eagles will be remembered forever.

“There are few people in the club’s history who can match Dean’s contribution on and off the field,” Nisbett said.

“While we’re disappointed to lose someone of Dean’s quality, we understand it is part of his continued growth as a coach.

“We thank Dean for everything he has given the West Coast Eagles and wish him the very best in the future.”

While we already have a thread for coaches, I feel Coxy deserves his own dedicated one. A legend of West Coast and the current games record holder, he revolutionised the role of a ruckman and retired as one of the GOATs.

Here's some of his career highlights:
* East Perth premiership side 2000
* Simpson Medal 2000
* All-Australian team 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2012
* West Coast premiership side 2006
* West Coast Best Clubman Award 2006
* West Coast John Worsfold Medal 2008

Thanks for the memories Coxy, and goodluck in Sydney!
