Frankston is thrilled to announce young forward Nathan Scagliarini has signed on for Season 2020.
โIโm absolutely stoked to re-sign. Itโs an exciting time ahead for the footy club with lots of fresh faces down (stay tuned to hear more on those!) and great people around the club,โ Scagliarini told Frankston Dolphins Media after putting pen to paper.
โThereโs a good buzz around the club with relationships building between coaches and players.
โPre season can be fun so weโll crack in and do as much as we possibly can to have more success next season.โ
Recruited from Sandringham where he was used sparingly in 2017, Scagliarini made an immediate impact at Frankston, playing every game as a creative forward last year.
Heading into 2019, Scagliarini was one of the clubโs most exciting prospects, but the popular clubmanโs season would be extinguished due to a shoulder injury in round 1 which required a full reconstruction.
With 2020 pre-season now underway, the 21 year-old integration aide feels rejuvenated and is eager for a big 2020.
โThe mind is really fresh and Iโm as determined as ever to play footy and enjoy it after a long year watching on the sidelines when I wish I couldโve been out there.
โThe shoulderโs feeling really good, Iโve started contact work after a good rest so itโs time to get stuck in and start building muscle so I have a fitness base again. Iโm super pumped.โ
โI really hope I can assert myself as a midfielder next season- hopefully an inside mid if I can put muscle on my body- and spend a bit of time up forward.โ
Stay tuned to our website and socials to hear about our recruits and resigned players in the coming days.
