Werribee has signed West Australian youngster Cameron Anderson from WAFL side Claremont.

The small rebounding defender represented WA in the 2019 U18 National Championships before going on to play seven league games for the Tigers over the past two seasons.

Possessing pace, good skills and decision-making, Werribee football manager Mark Micallef said the 21-year-old Anderson was an exciting signing for the club.

“Cameron’s a hard running defender with elite speed and the ability take the game on with his run and carry,” he said.

“He’s cousins with Collingwood’s Bobby Hill and is looking forward to taking his game to another level here in Victoria.  

“We think he can learn a lot from our experienced backs and being around the likes of Nick Coughlan and Michael Sodomaco will be great for his development.”

Small forward Michael Selsby has swapped Queensland for Victoria signing with Werribee after two seasons with Southport. 

Selsby arrives at Avalon Airport Oval after 20 appearances for the Sharks having joined the Queensland standalone from the Gold Coast Suns Academy.

The 21-year-old played in Southport’s first 11 games last season before a shoulder injury kept him on the sidelines until late in the campaign. 

Werribee football manager Mark Micallef said the club was delighted to add Selsby.   

“We’re really pleased to have Michael join us, after being involved in a successful program at Southport over recent years he knows what is required to succeed at this level,” he said.   

“He’s a North Queensland boy who has really embraced the move to Victoria and we’re excited to have him with his ability to find the ball in dangerous positions and finish in front of goal.” 

Werribee has signed talented young ruckman Kobe Annand ahead of the 2023 season.

The 21-year-old from Ocean Grove played 17 games this year with North Shore in the Geelong Football League claiming best on ground honours eight times.

The 200cm big-man finished the season with the fourth most hit-outs in the GFL and was runner-up in the Seagulls’ best and fairest count.

Having trained with the club at the back end of last season, Werribee football manager Mark Micallef said Annand was deserving of a contract.

“Kobe’s really competitive and strong at the contest and plays the game the way it should be played, at high intensity,” he said.

“From what we saw this season we think Kobe has really high scope and we’re excited to give him the opportunity to be on a VFL list and can’t wait to see what he brings in 2023.”
