CHARLTON is bulking up for the 2026 North Central football season with a host of new signings, including three players from the powerful Bendigo league.
Midfielder Zac Wescott comes across from Golden Square as senior assistant coach under new boss Carl Thiesz. He has been playing seniors football for the club for the past two seasons after a stellar junior career.
Wescott began with Golden Square in the Under-14s and finished runner-up in the league’s best-and-fairest vote in the Under-18s.
Jedd O’Keefe struggled with injuries in his first two seasons out of the junior ranks at Strathfieldsaye in the BFNL but is said to be fit and ready to help the Navies as they look to climb the ladder. O’Keefe is a skilled half-back or winger, and he will be joined at Charlton by Rory McCrann-Peters, who played in a reserves premiership with Golden Square last season.
McCrann-Peters appeared in four matches in the seniors to go with his 10 games in the twos, and he was named among the best players in three of those outings.
Jake Lawry has signed with Charlton from Calivil in the Loddon Valley league.
