James Gallagher Biography

James Gallagher will leave his role as list manager of the Saints at the end of 2022 and will return to South Australia with his young family.

James Gallagher is recruited as St Kilda's list manager.

While he spent more than 12 years in the finance industry, Gallagher's passion for football never left after 38 matches at Adelaide and another 228 at Norwood in the SANFL.

"It's always been in the back of my mind that I'd love to jump across into the right opportunity within a footy club. This role is the right opportunity," Gallagher said.

"I have some footy knowledge, which is pretty strong. I also have a pretty strong background in finance, and one of the things that's probably a strength of mine is the ability to build relationships, which I think is really critical in this role too."
