Logan Wagener, a pivotal figure in Leopold's consecutive premiership triumphs, has made a surprising move to Newcomb for the upcoming season. The talented footballer, who played a crucial role in Leopold's back-to-back flags, has revealed his reasons for joining the Power.
A New Challenge
Wagener explained that the decision to leave Leopold was driven by a desire for a fresh challenge. "I've had an incredible time at Leopold, winning two flags with a great group of boys, but I felt it was time for a new chapter," he said. "Newcomb presented an exciting opportunity to be part of something building from the ground up."
Why Newcomb?
The recruit highlighted the club's vision and the chance to contribute to its growth as key factors. "Newcomb has a lot of potential, and I want to help drive that success. The coaching staff and players have been very welcoming, and I believe we can achieve great things together," Wagener added.
Leopold's Loss, Newcomb's Gain
Leopold will undoubtedly miss Wagener's experience and skill, but the move is seen as a significant boost for Newcomb. The Power have been building their list with an eye on the future, and Wagener's arrival adds depth to their midfield and forward lines.
Newcomb coach, who declined to be named, expressed excitement about the signing. "Logan is a proven winner, and his leadership will be invaluable for our young group. We're thrilled to have him on board."
Looking Ahead
Wagener is already settling into his new environment and is eager to get started. "Pre-season is just around the corner, and I can't wait to run out with my new teammates. The goal is to build a competitive side that can challenge for finals."
The move has generated significant interest in the local footy community, with many eager to see how Wagener adapts to his new club. Newcomb fans will be hoping his winning mentality rubs off on the rest of the squad as they aim for a successful 2025 campaign.
