Melton Centrals has added a bit of experience and a touch of class with two big signings for the Riddell District Football League season.
Centrals announced that Fabian Brancatisano and Hisham Kerbatieh would be joining the club for next season.
Both played with Sunshine in the Western Football League division 2 competition last season and were part of the premiership team.
Fabian brings extensive experience to the team, having played 30 VFL [Victorian Football League] games across Coburg, Port Melbourne, Werribee, and Essendon,” the club said.
“He’s also a standout at the local level with over 100 premier division games, and has represented Loddon Valley, WRFL and EDFL [Essendon District Football League] in interleague games,
“We’re looking forward to seeing Fabian’s talent and leadership on the field this season.”
Kerbatieh has also previously played in the VFL having played with the Calder Cannons before that.
“With an impressive record of 50 VFL games with Carlton, Williamstown, and Coburg, Hisham brings a wealth of experience to the team,” Centrals said. “He’s also an elite goal kicker, having slotted over 500 goals in 300 games, and has proudly represented the EDFL in eight interleague matches.
“We can’t wait to see Hisham in action this season as he adds his incredible skill and experience to our team.”
As well as the new signings, Centrals announced the re-signings of Josh Thomas, Dylan McDonald, Hayden Sproule and Caleb Higgins in the last week.
They come after the announcement of Damian Zanic as coach for the next two seasons.
