Welcome Olivier Northam
The South Adelaide Football Club is excited to announce the addition of Olivier Northam to the Panthers.
Northam joins the Panthers from St Joseph's Football Netball Club, where he played in the Geelong Football and Netball League.
At just 19 years old, Northam has already made his mark by being part of Werribee's VFL Development List and representing Vic Country in the 2022 National Championships, where he achieved 45 hit-outs.
Standing tall at 197 cm, Northam is set to fill the gap left by Ollie Megins' injury.
Brent Reilly, the General Manager of Football, expressed his enthusiasm about Northam's arrival.
"Olly is a competitive young ruckman we've had our eye on for the last two seasons." said Reilly.
"With Ollie Megins out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, we reached out to Olly [Northam], and he agreed to play four games for us leading into the bye."
"We're delighted to welcome Olly to the South family, along with his parents, Jon and Natalie, who are joining us from Geelong."
Northam is set to make his SANFL debut on Sunday afternoon against Sturt at Thomas Farms Oval.
