Matt Liddle

Matt has enjoyed a long journey with the Tigers since joining the Club from St Edmunds in 2003 and has been a regular senior grade player ever since. Unfortunately serious injuries have restricted further milestone appearances – one such injury keeping him from selection in the 2012 NEAFL Premiership team.

“Lids” is one of the most popular players in the Tigers Organisation and is well known for his friendly nature . He is enjoying a wonderful season thus far and has posted a number of goals this season.

Congratulations Matt on this milestone achievement which will be recognised at the Tigers 100 club function on 23 August.
