SKIPTON has thrown its faith in Matt Rea to take the club forward in 2013.
Rea has been reappointed as senior coach after taking over the role from club stalwart Tim McKay last season.
The 28-year-old had a tough start to his time in the Central Highlands Football League, with the Emus finishing 14th, but a number of narrow defeats has the playing leader looking forward to an improved campaign next year.
