We’re happy to announce that Daniel Houeix has recommitted to the Hawks for the 2026 season!
A reliable presence down back, Daniel’s intercept marking, clean ball use, and composure under pressure make him a key pillar in our defence. He reads the play beautifully and consistently shuts down opposition attacks while setting us up going the other way. Great to have you locked in for another year Dan!
Brayden Wright has recommitted to the Hawks for 2026!
A big bodied ruckman who competes fiercely at every contest, Brayden has played a true team first role in 2025, doing whatever is asked of him to help the side. Whether giving our mids first use or providing a strong physical presence around the ground, he’s a valuable asset in the brown and gold. Great to have you locked in, Brayden!
Congratulations to Campbell Butler, Kallan Garrity, April Dye, Zac Papworth & Xavier Tronson who have all been invited to this years ENFL B&F night.
This year only the top three in each age group (U12s & up) will receive an invitation. All have had fantastic seasons with their teams making the finals (Campbell, Kallan, Zac & Xavier will play in this weekends Grand Finals) !! Best of luck to all
We couldn’t be more excited to announce Cadhla Schmidli has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Cad joined the squad this season, and has had an immediate impact from day one. Cad set the tone on the training track, always offers guidance and support for teammates, and did everything in their power to impact game day. Playing mostly forward, Cad finished with 16 goals for the season amongst the top 5 goal kickers in Premier Division. At times, Cad would switch into defence, providing us with stability when needed and highlighting their flexibility.
Cad was part of our leadership group and finished runner up in the Ellen Johnson Medal for the Senior Women’s Best & Fairest. We’re excited to see Cad back in brown and gold in 2026.
We’re thrilled to announce that Keiran Edwards has recommitted to the Hawks for 2026!
A premiership player and 50 game Hawk, Keiran is a valuable goal kicking wingman known for his ability to work tirelessly up and back at both ends of the field. His running power, versatility, and team first attitude make him a huge asset in the brown and gold.
Great to have you locked in, Keiran!
We’re pumped to announce that Damon Fairchild has recommitted to the Hawks for 2026!
We’re thrilled to announce Cleo Smith has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Cleo joined the Senior Leadership group for the first time, in her second year with the Hawks, after establishing herself as an emerging leader in 2024. Cleo is dominant in stoppage situations by giving our midfield first use, or by winning the clearance herself. Her agility around the ground, strong contested mark and elite footskills means she’s able to impact the game in a variety of ways.
Cleo was named as the ruck in the 2024 Premier Division Team of the Year at just 19 years of age while splitting her time between Eastern Ranges and the Hawks. In 2025 we were fortunate to have Cleo all season and while she’s added a considerable amount to the culture of our squad, she also had an incredibly consistent year onfield, finishing third in the Senior Best and Fairest.
We’re excited to announce that Jasmine Coney has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Jasmine was incredible in 2025, playing not only her first year with Boronia, but her first year of Senior football. Jas is an elite midfielder who is smart, composed and explosive coming out of the contest. Consistently breaking free from opposition tags, Jas was able to impact around the ground, use her penetrating kick to generate attack and hit the scoreboard herself, finishing the year with 10 majors from 13 games.
At just 18 years old, Jas is mature and professional in her approach to the game, determined to continue her development and an exceptionally supportive and caring teammate, who has felt at home in her first year with the Hawks.
Testament to her incredible season, Jas has won the Ellen Johnson Medal, for the Senior Women’s Best and Fairest in 2025, and we’re excited to see her take her game to another level in brown and gold in 2026.
We’re thrilled to announce Ali Gottliebsen has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
We’re excited to announce our Senior Captain Rachael Quirk has re-signed for the 2026 season.
Quirky is hard working, humble and an absolute force on ball. Part of our 2023 premiership team and named in the 2023 Division 1 Team of the Year, Quirky is a fierce defensive presence and explosive in the contest. Off field, she’s led our squad incredibly well in her first season as Captain and exemplifies the Hawka Spirit.
Quirky also celebrated her 250th game for Knox Raiders this season, and recently was a member of the winning team in the NBL1 South Grand Final. To perform at this level across two sports is phenomenal and speaks to the hard work that Quirky puts in behind the scenes.
We can’t wait for another year of Quirky in brown and gold in 2026.
