Sunbury Jets superstar Ish Sanders is back for another season in the Big V men’s championship competition.

Sanders returned to the Jets last season for a second stint at the club, after a first stint which included helping the Jets claim the division championship in 2019.

He upped his game to another level last year and was instrumental in leading the side to the minor premiership.

The side would fall in the best-of-three grand final series to Wyndham, 2-0 in a disappointing end to the season

Sanders struggled throughout the grand final series, with coach John White telling Star Weekly after the game two he carried an AC injury into the grand final.

Sanders overall performance was recognised as he won the competition’s most valuable player award.

He averaged 25.31 points per game, the third most in the division. He also averaged the 10th most assists per game.

It’s a second most valuable player award for Sanders, having won the division 1 award as he led the Jets to that title in division 1.

Sanders is the latest key player to recommit to the side for this season.

Nathan Marshall, Trevor Clayton and Mark Barkeley have already been announced as returning. They were all part of the Jets starting five alongside Sanders.
