A couple of club legends headline new signings for Sunbury for the Victorian Turf Cricket Association division 2 season.
Having announced that Ashan Ranawerra has re-signed and would take on the captaincy role this season, the Roar have announced four players that are returning to the club.
Jason McGann was the first of those signings.
The nine-time club champion and four time competition best and fairest winner returns to the club having spent last season at Maribyrnong Park St Marys.
McGann will be one of four training coordinators for the Roar this season.
“It is great to have Jason back at the club,” the Roar said on social media. “With a wealth of experience and knowledge he will be of great support to Ashan throughout the year.”
Brad Hunter also returns to the club from Maribyrnong Park St Marys where he was captain-coach for three seasons.
Like McGann, he’s a former captain and coach at the Roar.
He is a two time club champion and won a number of bowling awards at club and association level.
Hunter will also take on the cricketing director role, another role that he has previously held at the club.
The third returning player is Kyle Corcoran.
“Kyle has decided to return to his junior club after a few seasons playing at Rupertswood CC, where after an accumulation of hard work and dedication he was named in the GDCA [Gisborne and District Cricket Association] team of the year.
“Kyle will inject some much-needed support for our senior side and has years of experience bowling at senior level accumulating over 200 wickets already in his career.”
Jordan Ballinger is also returning to the club having started his career at the club before joining the Sunbury Kangaroos.
The Roar has since announced that Indika Massalage has also re-signed.
