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

Hoff took the season off in 2023 and played some games in the Outer East but is now back home. Like many of our squad, he started with the Hawks in Under 9’s and played a massive 132 junior games. He played a lot of very good footy in the 19’s, and was a premiership player in 2018. A foundation member of “The Fortress”, the renowned defensive unit of the Dev. Squad, Hoff will be a very welcome player to have back at the Hawka for many years yet.

CUPS ON TOUR | DYSON CURRIE TIMBER WHOLESALERS

Posted on by

DYSON CURRIE TIMBER WHOLESALERS are one of our long-time Gold sponsors of the club, run by an esteemed former president – Tim Currie.

Tim lives and breathes the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club and is constantly giving back to the club whether it be by sponsorship, volunteering his time as a team manager ….or giving our coaches advice! Tormore Reserve is unofficially his second home so there was no other better place to catch up with Tim and relive our 2024 premiership successes.

Thanks again Tim for all that you do and give to our great club and we look forward to seeing you rev up the players soon at pre-season!

WELCOME TO DANIEL HOUEIX

Posted on by

Boronia Hawks FNC is thrilled to announce the signing of DANIEL HOUEIX for the coming seasons. Daniel brings a wealth of experience from his playing and coaching roles within the EFNL, most notably as a member of the 2023 Mitcham senior premiership team and as an assistant coach for the Mitcham U19.5 team. His playing background also includes time with Eastern Ranges.

On the professional side, Dan is currently with the EFNL in the important role of Junior Football Manager. He “spent the last 6 years working at the Collingwood Football Club across several roles, including Member and Fan Operations Coordinator and Consumer Operations Manager as well as assisting in the Collingwood VFL and VFLW operation teams”. That’s a great resume.

Daniel’s leadership and knowledge of Division 1 will be a fantastic addition to the Hawks. As Daniel said “The opportunity and fresh start with a good bunch of lads really excites me, and especially after speaking with Clarky last week, I’m excited with what we can achieve in Division 1“.

Please join us all in welcoming Dan to the Hawks.
