Noongar man Jason Williams has landed a development coaching position with AFL club Port Adelaide.

Williams has been coaching Ballarat Football League outfit Bacchus Marsh and told the club of his job offer from the Power last week.

The Cobras coach spoke to his players before the team's final training session of the season, before informing the rest of the club at a large gathering at the final selection dinner.

Bacchus Marsh spoke about their high regard for Williams in a statement released on social media.

"Jason has reshaped the way our players think about themselves and their club," the Cobras' statement read.

"He has empowered players young and old to believe they could achieve beyond their own expectations.

"The club has received this news with feelings of sadness at the loss of an exceptional coach, but also with an immense sense of pride that we have been a part of the progression of Jason's career and pathway to the highest level in the land."

A talented junior footballer, Williams formerly played for Calder Cannons in the elite junior TAC Cup competition and represented Vic Metro at the AFL U18 National Championships.

After missing out on selection in the AFL National Draft, Williams signed with VFL club Port Melbourne and played in the club's 2012 losing grand final.

Williams later played local footy and won a premiership with Riddell District Football League team Diggers Rest before a serious knee injury called time on his playing career.

Upon retirement, Williams turned to coaching and spent five years holding positions in the NAB League and VFL before joining Bacchus Marsh at the end of 2022.

Williams said via the club's statement that he loved 'every minute' of his time at the Cobras.

"The demand of high standards and expectations went both ways, I expected and demanded a lot of my guys, they delivered and demanded and expected the same back from me," Williams said.

"In reflection, I believe this is what made us good for each other. The dynamic of our relationship forced me to be a better coach.

"It put me in positions where I had to be clearer with my communication, regulate my emotions and lead with empathy and love and for that, I am forever grateful."

The news of another Indigenous coach joining the AFL ranks comes just a week after the announcement that Larrakia and Amrreamo/Marritjavin man and current Richmond assistant coach Xavier Clarke was shortlisted for the club's senior coaching position.
