Godbier, also the NSW Country under-15 mentor, previously coached the Western women's team across 2015 and 2016, leading the outfit to a minor premiership and a grand appearance in his previous stint in charge.

He'll be looking to mentor the side back to the competition's zenith, or at least an improved campaign after Western went through a disappointing run in the 2019 season.

Godbier said he wouldn't be taking on the job if he didn't have the belief his players would throw their support behind the upcoming trials next month, and then the season proper.

"I'm very excited and a big reason for me coming back is an attempt to lift the profile of country football," the Cootamundra-based coach said.

"Unfortunately it's been on a decline and we need to ramp it back up. There's some good footballers out there and we need to get them on board.

"I've spoken to quite a few players ... and the interest is certainly there. I didn't burn any bridges and I've got some wonderful friends out that way. I'm hoping to reignite those friendships with our football."

Western's women's and girls' teams will return for another crack at the NPL2 after all finishing in the bottomr half of their leagues in 2019, the top side came ninth and finished with five wins, 37 points off the pace of minor premiers Sydney University.

Godbier is confident the club can rebound though, and work their way up the league standings. If they put in the work required over the off-season, that is, he certainly knows there's enough talent in the region to do so.

"The talent in the Western, Riverina and Southern Branch - as under 15s country coach - I've seen it's there," he said.

"We might have a young side but hopefully there will be a few older heads to guide them through.

"I wouldn't be involved if I didn't think there was a chance to turn things around. We need to show the city slickers that the kids out here can play, and they can because I've seen it with my own eyes.

"Hopefully we'll see the fruits of a hard pre-season in some of our performances but hopefully we can commit to a two or three-year plan and come out the other side with some of these younger girls."

Mudgee's Jason Payne, another former women's first grade coach, has been confirmed as Western's under-14 girls' coach.

Mark Rooke will return to mentor Western's men in this year's NPL4, after they were demoted from the third tier after struggling through 2019.

The women's trials are on Sunday, November 3 from 10am and Wednesday, November 13 from 6.15pm, both at Orange's Jack Brabham Park.

Prospective men's open and under-20 players must register online with trial information to be released soon, with under-18 trials set for Thursday, November 7 from 6.15pm, also at Jack Brabham.
