The other key signing is that of Tom Peterson, who will add further depth to Koondrook-Barham’s midfield as either a defensive run with player, or a hard running midfielder.
Joining Hale and Peterson at the Raiders next year will be Max Baldissera and Jack Shannon, after both players re-signed for 2022.DOGS ADD MORE MIDFIELD BITE
