West Coast Eagles have signed coach Daisy Pearce to a two-year contract extension.

West Coast Eagles have re-signed coach Daisy Pearce on a two-year contract extension. The deal, signed on Friday, will make Pearce the Eagles' longest-serving women's coach. The club is attempting to stay in the finals hunt, with Pearce's side facing a must-win match against Geelong to keep their hopes alive.

Pearce, a former premiership captain and three-time All-Australian, is the most successful Eagles women's coach to date. She led the club to a maiden finals campaign last season and secured their first western derby win this year. The Eagles would need to win their final three games to make back-to-back finals series.

Pearce said she was grateful for the club's support over the past three years and excited about the continuation of her role. 'To have another two years to go to work with our players and to do anything I can to help them develop is exciting,' she said. She praised her coaching staff and highlighted the club's investment in the AFLW programme, saying it made her 'really optimistic about where this team is headed'.
