Moore joins Burras

Diggers Rest has locked in a reigning league best and fairest winner and leading goalkicker as it aims to return to the top of the Riddell District Football League.

After months on rumours, the Burras have announced that Callum Moore would be joining the club in 2026.

Moore joins the club from Aberfeldie where he won the Essendon District Football League Reynolds Medal as the best player in premier division.

He also led the premier division goalkicking.

After playing with Carlton and Richmond in the AFL, Moore has had a successful local football career.

In the Ovens and Murray Football League, he won a league best and fairest, best on ground in grand final media and a leading goal kicker award.

“Callum brings a wealth of experience and an incredible football résumé to our club. After competing at the highest level with Richmond and Carlton in the AFL, he’s continued to dominate across state and local footy,” the Burras said on social media.

“Known as a dynamic key forward with elite mobility, strength, and goal sense, Callum is a nightmare match-up for defenders and exactly the kind of player who’ll excite every one of our loyal supporters.”

The Burras also recently announced the signing of Matthew Baird from the Sunbury Kangaroos. He will be an assistant coach for the reserves.

Other signings announced by the Burras include Tristan Mancuso and Jarryd Bonello.

The Burras finished top of the ladder in 2025 before a straight set exit from finals.
