Kieran Edwards Joins the Hawks
Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is very pleased to announce that KIERAN EDWARDS has signed on with the Hawka for 2023!
Kieran played juniors for Lysterfield before joining Knox in 2019 for Under 19’s. He went on to play 32 senior games for Knox and Kieran was the leading goal kicker for Knox last season with 29 goals. He will be a dangerous addition to our forward line in 2023.
Kieran said “I’m really looking forward to putting in the work and hopefully building towards something big in 2023. It seems like a very tight group down at the Hawks and I’m looking forward to playing with a few good mates and building connections on and off the field with others.”
Please welcome Kieran and his family to the Hawka!
Big Name Recruits across the League – especially at Boronia Hawks
“Plenty of off-season movement for the Hawks as they increase their depth at the club with multiple star players.
Former Essendon and Frankston midfielder Josh Begley is among those significant signings for the club, opening the premiership window up for the Hawks. Begley brings a combination of leadership, experience and talent with the ability to take the side to another level. He’ll be joined by Jethro Von Hesse who spent the last five seasons at Upwey-Tecoma, the two already have a solid connection with one another. Both are versatile quick big-bodied players with exceptional skills.
The club have also continued to develop their midfield depth and versatility with the additions of young stars, Max Brasher, Luke Flanagan, Haydn Stanley and Lachie Wright.
Both Brasher and Flanagan arrive from Upper Ferntree Gully with experience at senior-level footy in Division One. After two EFNL Best and Fairest awards in his junior career, Brasher has transitioned into senior footy well, placing in the top four of the club’s best and fairest in his first year of senior football. Flanagan has also transitioned into senior footy after winning the 2021 Under 19’s Best and Fairest”.
Haydn Stanley joins the Hawks.
BHFNC is delighted to announce the signing of Haydn Stanley!
Haydn played his junior football at the Upwey-Tecoma Football Club prior to playing two seasons at Eastern Ranges. He soon graduated into a senior footballer at Upwey and last season was a senior player at Vermont Football Club
An inside midfielder and genuine utility player, Haydn looks forward to joining our club and playing football with many of his closest mates
I’ve been fortunate to know Haydn and his parents Deb and Jaret for over 15 years and have no doubt, we have just recruited not only an exceptional footballer, but a great person!
Greg Hannon, Senior President
Lachie is Back!
Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce that LACHIE WRIGHT has committed to the Club for the 2023 season.
Lachie is back to Boronia after spending a year with Dalyston in the WGFL, where he played 15 senior games.
Lachie won Boronia’s Under 19’s B&F, the David Murrihy Medal in 2021 and was an Under 19’s Premiership player in 2018. Under 19’s debut as an Under 17’s player in 2018. Under 17’s Players Choice Award in 2017. Joined Boronia Juniors in 2012.

Welcome to Jethro!
Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club are very pleased to announce that JETHRO VON HESSE has signed on with the Hawka for 2023!
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.
Jethro started his senior career as a centre half back but has since developed his running game to now play in the midfield. He is known for his composure and having plenty of time with the ball as well as being very good by foot and hitting a target.
Please welcome Jethro to the Hawka who will further bolster our inside and outside run in 2023.
Welcome to Begs!
Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is absolutely delighted to announce the signing of former Essendon and Frankston midfielder / forward JOSH BEGLEY.
Josh has informed our club that he is really looking forward to joining The Hawka and playing football with many of his closest mates! Josh’s body strength and running capacity will be a massive addition to our midfield, as will his leadership qualities. 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!
