Liam Anthony Returns to the Sharks

It is with genuine excitement that the East Fremantle Football Club announces the return of Liam Anthony from the Kangaroos to play from season 2015.

Liam started his career at the Sharks, making the move from our country zone Geraldton, for the start of the 2006 season.  He played 15 games in that debut season.

In 2008 Liam had an outstanding year, playing 19 games, collecting 26 possessions per game and kicking 23 goals for the season.  That season saw him not only finish runner-up in the Lynn Medal, but also drafted by North Melbourne with pick 43 in the 2008 draft.  It was his ability to find the footy and break the lines that really caught the attention during that 2008 season.

Unfortunately a foot injury delayed Liam’s debut until midway through the 2009, but in round 13 he finally walked out for his first game against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG.  In an impressive debut Liam had 28 possessions.  Had it not been for a few unfortunate injuries no doubt Liam would have played more than the 58 games he is credited with.   

Liam comes to East Fremantle after a super season for North Ballarat in VFL. Despite still playing 4 games for the Kangaroos Liam was awarded runner-up in the JJ Liston Trophy, the VFL’s equivalent of the Sandover Medal.

Liam will begin arranging his relocation to Perth in the coming week and will arrive to train with the squad in the new year.
