The other players in the squad are Col Griggs (Rochester United), Adam Ward and Tim Maxfield (Rochester Tigers), Tyler Beard (Echuca) and Greg Pearse (Bamawm Lockington United).
The squad will train under Brad Mueller from 6
Coach of the GM and former KDCA coach squad, Lawrie Casey, is very pleased with the squad he has at his disposal and expects it to perform well.
‘‘We will be trying to win every game to give us the chance to play in division two next season.
‘‘I think we have a well balanced side with plenty of experience and with some good young players as well.
‘‘There wouldn’t be too many other players who could have been included in this squad I believe so I’ll be disappointed if we don’t perform well,’’ said Casey.
