Lees will remain in the set-up and be employed by Paralympics Australia as a development coach.

"They came in at a great time," coach Brad Dubberley said of the pair, speaking to the Paralympics Australia website.

"At the 2010 Worlds they were part of the silver medal team, then obviously there was that golden run over the next couple of cycles, which was great.

"It's a shame we didn’t get to finish it off in style in Tokyo, but they’ve had a very good run, they were part of the programme for a long period of time and are just great blokes, really."
