Travis Cloke joins the Bombers' AFLW coaching lineup for his first season.

After an excellent first year as Essendon's VFLW coach, where he led them to a preliminary final, former Collingwood player Cloke will step up to the AFLW program as the midfield line coach.

Cloke played 256 AFL games for both Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs, retiring in 2017 with a Premiership, two All-Australian selections, a Copeland Trophy (Pies best and fairest) and four Collingwood leading goal kicker awards.

Before joining the Bombers, Cloke held coaching roles at Collingwood and Eastern Ranges, working across both under-17 and under-19 female and male programs.
