Dragons add experience

Sunshine Heights has added some more experience to its list for next year’s Western Football League division 2 season.

After making inroads this season, the Dragons have looked to sign some more pieces as it looks to return to playing finals.

Aaron Williams joins the club from Point Cook Centrals, where he was a premiership player and leading goalkicker in 2022.

“Aaron is a hybrid forward with plenty of smarts around goal, he also brings great leadership on and off the field with having played over 300 senior games,” the Dragons said on social media.

Bol Kolang will return to the Western Football League, having been playing with St Albans the past few seasons in the Essendon District Football League.

He will give the Dragons another option up forward next year.

“Bol comes to us from St Albans Football Club where he has played the past five years,” the Dragons said on social media.

“In that time he was the club’s leading goal kicker in 2022 and 2023 and was awarded best finals player in 2023.

“Other senior accolades include a senior bnf [best and fairest] in division 1 and team of the year in division 1 in the WFNL.

Ruck John Atar will add some more height to the list for the Dragons.

He joins the club from Tungamah Football Club where he spent one year, but is well known for playing majority of his football at Parkside where he was a 2023 senior premiership player, part of the 2023 team of the year and came runner up in the club’s best and fairest.

Buddy Dettman is the other new signing announced by the Dragons so far.

He joins the club from Anakie.

“He is a hard nosed defender that can also play midfield,” the Dragons said. “Buddy has a team first attitude and his leadership will be a huge asset to our playing group and football club.”
