Reynolds & Reg Rose Medal Winner Returns To Blues

By Tara Murray


KEILOR premiership ruckman Andrew Browne is returning to the Strathmore Community Bank Premier Division club.

Browne, who won the 2013 Reynolds Medal, left the club at the end of the 2018 season to go and coach his junior club Mansfield.

With Browne deciding he could no longer commit to travelling to play football, he made the decision to return to the Blues.

Blues coach Mick McGuane said it was a no brainer for the club to sign Browne.

Not only will Browne fill the ruck role, he’ll bring the extra experience he’s learnt coaching his own side.

“We can’t wait to see him wear the Keilor colours as a ruckman,” he said.

“We were delighted that he wanted to reconnect.

“He’s 30 years of age… He’s got at least another couple of years left in his body and he’s motivated and stimulated with the group we have and he wants to close out his footy career in pursuit of premierships.”
