SUNS FOSTERING IMPRESSIVE TALENT IN BRODIE

-

THE credential­s of Surfers Paradise product Brodie Foster continue to rise.

The Gold Coast Suns Academy member has earned the Tribal Sport NEAFL Rising Star nomination for Round 13.

A member of the Suns’ under-19 academy squad, Foster produced another solid display on Saturday when he accumulate­d 22 disposals, six clearances and four rebound 50s in Gold Coast’s NEAFL win over Redland at Metricon Stadium.

The Surfers Paradise junior has been a member of the academy for five years, making his NEAFL debut in 2016 before starring at under-18 level.

A gifted ball user with sure hands and an accurate kick, Foster won the NAB Under-18 Academy Series MVP award for the Suns last year and was invited to attend the AFL’s Rookie Me Combine.

The 19-year-old midfielder has played every NEAFL match so far this season and has posted career-best numbers, averaging 19 disposals, three inside 50s, five tackles and three clearances a game.
