Jethro played juniors for Berwick where he won a couple of premierships including a Best on Ground performance in one of them. He then moved to Upwey Tecoma FC where he has played senior football for the last five years.

Please welcome Jethro to the Hawka who will further bolster our inside and outside run in 2023.

We also look forward to welcoming his parents, Bruce and Donna, to our club and making them feel most welcome!

This is obviously a very significant signing and I sincerely thank Josh for his willingness and desire to take our club further up the divisions in the years ahead!
