Former Geelong champion Garry Hocking has accepted a new job as a development coach with Port Adelaide.

Hocking, 41, has spent the last four years as head coach of the Geelong Falcons in the TAC Cup Under-18s competition.

The AFL Hall of Fame member played 274 games for Geelong, winning four club best and fairest awards and four All-Australian guernseys.

Hocking will join Darren Trevena as a development coach at the Power.

"Garry's record of developing players at the Geelong Falcons is exceptional," said Port football operations manager Peter Rohde.

"We anticipate he will be very good for our younger players, which is certainly where we are putting our focus."

The Power have now finalised their coaching staff for 2010.
