Former Essendon coach John Worsfold is back at an AFL club, accepting a part-time consultant role at Carlton.
Worsfold left the Bombers at the end of 2020 as part of a coaching succession plan which eventually saw Ben Rutten take over from the start of the current season.
In the new role, heâll become David Teagueâs mentor and continue an informal relationship theyâve established for several months.
Speaking for the first time since the announcement was made, Rutten said he was thrilled that his former colleague was back working at the highest level of the game.

Former Essendon captain Tim Watson has outlined what he believes was the most interesting aspect of the clubâs revamped leadership group in 2021.
The Bombers announced their streamlined leadership group for the upcoming season last week, with Zach Merrett back as a joint vice-captain with Michael Hurley and Andrew McGrath.
Dyson Heppell will skipper the club for a fifth consecutive year.
Both Devon Smith and Dylan Shiel wonât be part of the leadership group this year, something which Watson singled out and said spoke to the current disconnect at the club.
