Ruckman Josh Maynard will return to NEAFL action in tomorrow's Good Friday clash against Southport alongside Billy Clark who will become the club's sixth debutant of the season.
Clark has made an impact throughout his first pre-season on Canberra’s list and a standout performance in last weekend’s AFL Canberra competition for Eastlake has earned the 18-year-old the call up.
“He is a young boy we picked up from the GWS Academy program, he is a terrific outside runner who runs hard and is a beautiful kick,” said Canberra General Manager of Football Shaun Young.
“He has demonstrated some really good versatility and has been really strong since he arrived at the club late last year.”
