WELCOME TO BORONIA | JORDAN CHURCH

Boronia Hawks FNC is delighted to announce the signing of Jordan Church. Jordan, the son of former Bob Henry Medallist Russell Church and nephew to former star Rod ‘Rocket’ Church will be a welcomed addition to our already burgeoning father-and-son brigade.

Jordan is an exciting recruit with a fantastic record over the past few years. He won the 2022 FTG B&F in Under 17A, finishing top three in the league. He made his senior debut in 2023 and played every senior game. In 2024, Jordan has just won the FTG Senior B&F as an 18 year old and was selected in the 2024 Division 3 Team of the Year.

Jordan’s pop, Mark, was a massive supporter of our club and would be looking down proudly on this signing knowing his grandson has joined the club he loved so much! It is great to have the Church family back at Boronia.


BACK TO BORONIA | BRAYDEN WRIGHT

Boronia Hawks FNC is extremely happy to announce that BRAYDEN WRIGHT has signed to return to Boronia in 2025, which will be his seventh season of senior football with the Hawks.

Wrighty has played 90 senior games with Boronia, including two Reserves flags, after debuting as a 17 year old in 2016. He spent the last two seasons at FTG, his original junior club, and did very well. Good big men are hard to find so we are delighted to welcome Wrighty back to Tormore.
