NEW RECRUIT: THE CYBORG HAS ARRIVED!

We are pleased to welcome Tom Borg to the Boronia Hawks!

Tom joins us from Upper Ferntree Gully, where he enjoyed some good footy, climbing from Under 19s through to the Reserves before making his senior debut in 2021. A St Joseph’s alum and a good mate of Luke Flanagan and Max Brasher, Tom is already right at home at Tormore.

Over the past two seasons, Xavier has gained valuable experience playing across both the Senior and Reserves levels, demonstrating his development, competitiveness, and readiness to take the next step in his football journey.

SIGNED FOR 2026 | TOM GASPARRONI

We’re thrilled to announce that Tom Gasparroni has recommitted to Boronia Hawks for the 2026 Season.

After an injury interrupted first half of 2025, Tom showed exactly what he’s capable of once he got going, especially in our Final, where he was one of our best players on the day. His impact, work rate and competitiveness gave us a real lift when it mattered most.

Tom is now injury free and tearing up the track and we can’t wait to see what he delivers with a full, uninterrupted pre season behind him.
