James Kavanagh to the Tigers!

The Club continues to impress with it's 'off' season recruitment campaign with the valuable signing of Ainslie full forward James Kavanagh. A strong, leading forward, his mobility in the Tigers forward line is sure to provide many headaches for opposition sides. "Kav" has been the AFL Canberra leading goal kicker for the past two seasons along with being a regular representative player since joining Ainslie five seasons ago. Crossing the border is never an easy decision, but this likeable character joins two former team mates in Danny and Roy Jaques who transferred to the Tigers earlier this season from our long time enemy.

Another player joining the Tigers is Greg Hair - a mid field player whose travels have seen him play as a youngster with Narrandera in the Riverina League before moving to Bathurst to attend University and then most recently with Sydney Football League Club Pennant Hills. Previously coached by current Tigers Reserve Grade match day assistant Noel Sibly, Greg won a best and fairest award with the Bushrangers and also represented the Central West League.

With player losses at a minimum and with the addition of Mark Powell (Swans / Kangaroo's), Matt Cavedon (Myrtleford) and the possible signing of two other players, the Tigers are certainly shaping the 2007 season as an exciting time for the Club. Also joining the Tigers in season 2007, will be promising 17 year olds from the Pambula Panther Football Club Daniel Jabornik and James Manie with two other youngsters from Bathurst signing with the Tigers in Alex Cuttiford and Ryan Nelson.
