CibbuanoLions promote rookie
April 23rd 2009 07:23
BRISBANE has promoted Irish rookie Pearce Hanley to the club's senior list in place of West Australian draftee Kieran King.
King, who was selected with pick 81 in last year's national draft, has been placed on the long-term injury list because of an ankle injury that is expected to keep him on the sidelines for 10 to 12 weeks.
Hanley - who hails from Ballaghadereen in Ireland's County Mayo - played two senior matches last season after making his AFL debut in round 21 against Carlton at the Gabba.
The 20-year-old former Gaelic player and 2006 Ron Barassi Medallist has been a member of the Lions' rookie list since arriving from Ireland at the end of 2007.
