FORMER Adelaide defender Brent Reilly has re-joined the club as a development coach.

Reilly played 203 games for the Crows between 2002 and 2014.

He retired after a serious collision at training in February 2015, which resulted in emergency surgery on multiple skull fractures.

The 34-year-old was an assistant coach at the Henley Sharks in the South Australian Amateur Football League this year, and had been promoted to the senior role before being offered a job at the Crows.

He will replace another former Crow in Nathan van Berlo, who has crossed to West Coast as a midfield coach.

Adelaide has now finalised its coaching panel, with Ben Hart looking after defence, Josh Francou overseeing the forwards and Scott Camporeale combining forces with Paul Thomas to coach the midfielders.

Matthew Clarke (ruck), Tate Kaesler (team defence) and Heath Younie (development manager), who will hold the same roles as last season, round out the coaching group.
