Werribee has locked in Olly Northam for next year’s Victorian Football League season. The young ruck joins the club from St Joseph’s in the Geelong Football League, having also played for the Geelong Falcons. Meanwhile, the club announced the re-signings of Aidan Johnson and Sam Paea. Paea kicked 28 goals this year to help the side to a grand final, while Johnson is hoping to put two injury interrupted seasons behind him.
