In great news for the club Michael Close has extended his contract with the club to the end of the 2017 season.  It is great to see these young cubs extending with the club despite our lowly current position.

It would appear that we may avoid the go home factor this year with Close joining other young stars Sam Mayes, Mitch Golby, Ryan Harwood,  Justin Clarke, Claye Beams, Patrick Wearden and Jordon Bourke in extending contracts.

Coupled with the retention of Daniel Rich, Daniel Merrett, Matthew Leuenberger, Jack Reddan, Tom Rockliff, Pearce Hanley, Josh Green, Brent Staker and Joel Patfull we are looking good in our rebuilding phase.
