Panthers Trio Back for 2018

2 November 2017

Another trio of Panthers have re-committed to don the blue and white in 2018.

Skillful defender Adam Gulden, versatile utility Tyson Brown and crafty forward Matt Raitt have all put pen to paper on deals that will see them stay in Noarlunga for the 2018 season.

Gulden endured an injury-delayed start to 2017, but was a welcome addition to the side in the latter stages of the year, adding plenty of run and carry out of defence, averaging 24.5 touches through six games and chalking up his 50th game for South in the process.

After badly injuring his hamstring in the 2016 Qualifying Final against Sturt, Brown could only manage one League game in 2017.

However, the Panthers 2016 Most Improved Player is now fully fit and ready to tackle a full pre-season ahead of 2018.

Finally, the speedy Raitt, who joined the Club in 2017 after being part of Flagstaff Hill's 2016 SFL Premiership tilt, will look to build on his six senior matches for the Panthers.

The inked up forward-midfielder made his debut against Norwood in Round 4, kicking a memorable goal in front of the Members Grandstand and steadily came into his own at senior level, showcasing his forward pressure and slotting seven goals for the year.
