WELCOME TO BORONIA | XAVIER LANE

Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is excited to welcome Xavier Lane to the club from the Yackandandah Football Club.

At just 19 years of age, Xavier arrives as a bright young prospect with strong credentials. In 2023, he capped off an outstanding season by winning Yackandandah’s Under 17 Best and Fairest, while also finishing runner-up in the League Under 17 Best and Fairest. Over the past two seasons, Xavier has gained valuable experience playing across both the Senior and Reserves levels, demonstrating his development, competitiveness, and readiness to take the next step in his football journey. Known for his work rate, consistency, and team-first attitude, he brings both talent and maturity beyond his years.

We’re thrilled to have Xavier join the Boronia Hawks and look forward to watching him continue to grow and make his mark in the brown and gold. Welcome to the Hawka, Xavier! ???

We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce Zoe Wright has signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Zoe has had an accomplished junior career, amassing over 150 games, SMJFL interleague representative, Oakleigh Chargers U16s program and St. Kilda Next Generation Academy. Zoe is coming off back-to-back club Best & Fairests, can play key position or around the ground, and is a very exciting prospect for the future. We’re excited to see Zoe and the Wright family in brown and gold this year!


WELCOME TO BORONIA | ELLA DEMPSTER

We couldn’t be more excited to announce Ella Dempster has signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Ella has made a huge impact already on the track, impressing with her skills, strong overhead marking and ability to connect with her new teammates. After previously spending time with Casey in the VFLW and Dandenong Stingrays, Ella has balanced football and basketball commitments over the past few years. We can’t wait to see Ella in brown and gold this season!


WELCOME TO BORONIA | MADDY STARK

We’re thrilled to announce that Maddy Stark has signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Maddy is coming off a huge 2025, where she made the EFNL Team of the Year and shared her club Best & Fairest Award. Starky is an athletic forward who knows how to find the goals, kicking 64 majors over the past three seasons, and taking out the Division 3 goal kicking award last year.

We’re excited to watch Maddy roam the wide open space of Tormore in brown and gold this year, and beyond.


SIGNED FOR 2026 | TOM GASPARRONI

We’re thrilled to announce that Tom Gasparroni has recommitted to Boronia Hawks for the 2026 Season.

After an injury interrupted first half of 2025, Tom showed exactly what he’s capable of once he got going, especially in our Final, where he was one of our best players on the day. His impact, work rate and competitiveness gave us a real lift when it mattered most.

Tom is now injury free and tearing up the track and we can’t wait to see what he delivers with a full, uninterrupted pre season behind him.
