Kobe Mutch Flys to Flinders University Stadium

The Panthers are delighted to welcome former Eagle and Bomber Kobe Mutch to Noarlunga in 2023. 

The 24-year old midfielder, who was part of the Eagles 2021 Premiership side, says he is excited to join the Panthers and be under the tutelage of Jarrad Wright. 

"I’m excited to learn and improve my game under Jarrad, he has great knowledge of the game." 

"I'm looking forward to meet the playing group, coaching staff and support staff"

When asked about why Mutch chose the Panthers, he said that there were two key factors in his decision. 

"The first one is my living & work commitments and the second being the age demographic of the list and the exciting brand of footy that I’ve seen in the past 2 years."

Mutch joined the Eagles in 2021 from Essendon where he was drafted with pick 42 of the 2016 draft, where he would play 4 games. 

The 188cm mid played 31 games for the Eagles in 2021 and 2022, kicking 10 goals and averaging 22 disposals in 2022. 

"We're really excited to have Kobe join us, he is one of the top midfielders in the SANFL and it's going to be a handy addition to our side" said Senior Coach Jarrad Wright. 

"Kobe will add some strength on the inside and class on outside" 

"He is a terrific person and will be a perfect fit with our brand both on and off the field."
