ANNOUNCEMENT | JAKE GODWIN RE-SIGNS

We’re excited to confirm that Jake Godwin has re-signed with the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 season!

Jake is a versatile and respected leader, capable of impacting games at both ends of the ground but above all, he’s someone who always puts the club first.

A Senior Premiership Player in 2018, Jake then moved north spending a few years in QLD. He featured in the 2024 QAFL Grand Final with Morningside, kicking three goals in a premiership win. He returned home to Boronia in 2025 and hasn’t missed a beat.

His return has been critical as the group adjusted to the demands of Division 1. Whether he’s locking down defenders, pushing forward, or mentoring younger players, Jake does it all with humility, heart, and team-first commitment. Not many come more loyal or genuine than Jake Godwin. We’re wrapt to have him back in the brown and gold for 2026!

Jake is proudly sponsored by Matt Robinson and Freedom Constructions.


BACK TO BORONIA | JAKE GODWIN

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. Jake is very capable either forward or back and will be a very valuable acquisition as we move in to Division 1.
