Boronia Hawks FNC is excited to announce that JAKE GODWIN is #backtoboronia and has signed to play again in 2025, which will be his seventh senior season with the Hawks.

Jake is “one club” player since Under 9’s in 2007, although he moved up to Queensland and played the last three seasons for Morningside in the QAFL. This culminated in the 2024 Premiership, with Jake kicking three goals in the Grand Final. Jake played representative football with the EFNL U15’s, before playing at both Eastern Ranges and Box Hill Hawks. He played in the 2018 Senior Premiership side with Boronia.
