Premiership forward Mark Clissold will pull on the Power jumper for the first time since the flag victory over Old Collegians in 2017. 

The 26-year-old rejoins the district league powerhouse after his second stint at Terang Mortlake (2015-16 and 2018).

Power coach Ben Walsh said he was eager to have the “home grown” goal-kicker, who kicked 28 goals from 15 games in the Hampden league in 2018, return to the club.

“We are really excited to have Mark back. He is a home grown player and has spent most of career at the Power and played his juniors here,” he said.

“He has lots of family and friends here and I know he is excited to be back. He went to Terang Mortlake with our full support, as he wanted to challenge himself, and he had a good year.

“But that pull of playing with close mates and family is what got him back. No doubt he will come back a more experienced and mature player.”

Clissold, who will jump into a junior development role within the club, joins Nick Bourke (Leopold), Ben Reid (Camperdown) and Martin Wynd (Terang Mortlake) as junior players returning to Kolora-Nooorat.

Three-time premiership player Sam Moloney has also returned as an non-playing assistant coach. 

Walsh, who will enter his first year of coaching the Power next season, confirmed Melbourne-based key forward Ben Fraser had re-signed. The Power star played 13 games and kicked 43 goals in 2018.
