Ben Harding takes out the Prendergast Medal

Tuesday, September 19, 2017 - 3:56 PM

East Fremantle youngster Ben Harding has taken out the Prendergast Medal, the Best and Fairest Award for the Reserves competition.

This is the icing on the cake for Ben, after a fantastic season of football. Coming through our development pathway, Ben made a smooth transition from Colts to seniors this year. After a number of standout performances in the Reserves, Ben made his League debut in Round 12 and registered another 2 games throughout 2017.

Ben’s ball use was prolific this season, averaging 27.6 disposals in his 16 Reserves games. In rounds 8 and 23 he amassed 35 disposals; a fantastic effort. The small inside midfielder averaged 8 clearances per game and won almost double the contested possessions than the next Shark’s player, hence would have attracting the attention of the umpiring department. 

We look forward to seeing Ben’s development in the coming years and his bright future at the Sharks.
