Geelong Cats assistant coach Steven King has been discharged from hospital, after being given the all clear by doctors.

Steven won’t be part of the Club’s coaching panel for tonight’s Preliminary Final match against Brisbane Lions at the MCG, as he recovers at home.
 
Head of Development Nigel Lappin and VFL coach Mark Corrigan will assist in the coaches box, while Shaun Higgins, who already has a matchday interchange role that works closely with Steven, will continue in that role. 
 
Geelong Cats General Manager of Football Andrew Mackie said, “First and foremast the Club’s priority has been Steven’s health and providing support to his family. We are pleased he is now at home and taking some time to rest and recover.”
