After four seasons in charge at Coleambally, Carroll has decided this year will be his last as he seeks to spend more time with his young family.

Carroll was joined by Luke Hillier in the coaching position this season as the Blues climbed off the bottom of the Farrer League ladder up to fifth position with just two rounds remaining.

Hillier will remain as co-coach for a second year with Coleambally in the process of sorting out the finer details of their coaching structure for 2020.

Carroll said it was a tough call to make.

"It wasn't easy. I had been thinking about it for a while," Carroll said.

"It's a family thing. I've got three young kids and Marty will be starting Auskick next year. I don't have as much time as I used to and I want to spend some more time with my family."

Carroll first coached Coleambally in 2014-15. He returned to the gig last year, answering an SOS from the Blues as they went through a tough 12 months.

With still plenty to play out this year, Carroll believes he leaves the role well-positioned.

"I feel like the club's in a good position, it's not like I'm leaving when the club's going to be struggling," he said.

"It looks like everyone is hanging around so things are looking positive already."

Coleambally recruiting manager Shane Mannes praised Carroll for the job he's done.

"As far as I'm concerned, the job was Mitch's again if he wanted to do it," Mannes said.

"He helped us out when we were in a bit of trouble at the start of last year. We're rapt with the job he's done."

Mannes confirmed Hillier will remain in his position at Coleambally next year, but explained there is still some minor details to be finalised.

"Luke will do it again in some form, we're still working through it," he said.

"Hopefully we'll have something organised in the next couple of weeks."

Carroll predominantly held the non-playing role in the co-coaching partnership with Hillier this year.

He did play two first grade games early in the year for Coleambally but struggled with ongoing injury issues.

Carroll said being part of a co-coaching set up this season took some getting used to.

"It's been different," he said.

"I've really enjoyed my time doing it and I might get back into coaching some day but at the moment it's time to get back to into the family side of things."

Coleambally face Marrar and CSU, both away, to finish the home and away season. The Blues only need to win one of the two games to secure their finals spot, and could still finish fifth even if they lose both games.
