Two more Zebras re-sign

24/02/2022

The Sandringham Football Club have confirmed the re-signings of Sam Dunell and Riley Virtue.

We are excited to announce the re-signing of reigning Best & Fairest, Sam Dunell, and Riley Virtue for the 2022 season.

Dunell Is a major re-signing for the Zebras, sticking with us for a second successive season. Dunell continues in his coaching role alongside Jake Batchelor, with a major focus on leadership within the Club in 2022. He will also have an on-field role, continuing to build on his more than 100 VFL games, which he reached last season. Dunell's playing experience at AFL level and his knowledge of the game will be invaluable to a young on field group this year. He will continue to add flexibility to the line-up, having played in both defence and the forward line in 2021. We are very excited to keep someone of Dunell's calibre at the Club for another season. 

Virtue adds to the continuing list of ex-Dragons at the Zebras. He has been with us since first signing in 2019 and has managed a couple of VFL senior games over the past few seasons, which he will be looking to build upon in 2022. Virtue will add plenty of physicality and grunt to the Zebras side, whether that be through the midfield or forward line. Virtue has impressed through pre-season and we hope to see him have a breakout year in 2022.
