Star trio to strengthen Willi

WILLIAMSTOWN has added even more young talent to its 2014 playing list.
Isaiah Miller, Michael Gibbons and Reid Adams will line up at Williamstown next year, joining the club from Bendigo Pioneers, Murray Bushrangers and Geelong Falcons respectively.
The star trio also played a mixture of representative, VFL, school and senior football last year.
Williamstown football manager Chris Dixon was delighted to secure the talented crop.
“They’re three really exciting signings for us,” Dixon said.
“All three players bring different qualities and traits but we’re delighted to have them on board.
“Isaiah Miller has obviously been extremely highly rated having been selected in the AIS Academy and for one reason or another didn’t get drafted. We’re looking forward to really working on aspects of his game and hopefully putting his name back up in lights in 12 months’ time.
“Michael Gibbons has been one of the most prolific ball winners in the country in his age bracket in the past four years.
“Reid Adams joins us from the Falcons and we think he is a really nice prospect. He is a great size for a modern midfielder and averaged good numbers in the TAC Cup this season.”
Miller, Gibbons and Adams join a host of off-season recruits at the Seagulls including Sean Tighe, David Fahey, Brad Mangan and Scott Clouston.
The Seagulls have also wasted no time finding a replacement for gun ruckman Cameron Wood who was rookie listed by Carlton.
Williamstown signed 207cm giant Michael Sikora from the Essendon Football Club.
Seagulls’ CEO Brendan Curry said he thought it was a good fit for both player and club.
“After Cam Wood was taken by Carlton our need for a ruckman obviously increased,” he said.
“Michael was looking for a new home and an opportunity to come in and continue his development. We think it’s going to be a good fit and we’re excited about what Michael will be able to provide us.”
