ABOUT

Started his football at YCW in 1998 with his brother Justin, one of four brothers to play with the Club.

Had a stellar year in 1999 dominating in the Ruck and winning the clubs Reserve Best & Fairest award,and polling well in the League Award.

Missed the best part of 2000-01 & 03 seasons overseas/unavailable. A tall, mobile ruckman with a strong pair of hands, and great versatility, he has played in all key positions including fullback in the 2005 grand final. A great clubman!!

Started 2006 in the seniors but decided to retire early in the season following  the birth of his first child……May get itchy feet and return in 2007 to provide some much needed big man experience.

Did return earlier to play late in the 2006 season, however suffered a back injury which put him out for the rest of the year and the preseason and first 4 games of 2008. Came back strongly to play a commanding role in the ruck which was intergral in getting the reserves to 2nd on the ladder and a grand final berth..
