Former West Adelaide players Kenny Karpany and Chol Majok have joined Port District and PHOS Camden for season 2023.

Karpany – a skilful and courageous mid and forward – will bring further versatility to the reigning division one premier’s lineup, while ruck utility Majok should be a major boost for PHOS Camden in division two.

Sacred Heart Old Collegians have picked up former Glenelg player Beau McRae after moving up to division one, while Flinders Uni has also been busy in division seven.

Barossa, Light and Gawler Football Association

Brock Castree (Moonta to Gawler Central)

Hills Football League

Ben Powell (Sturt to Nairne Breme Unitedr)

Josh Sykes (Port to Mount Lofty)

Matt Walton (North Broken Hill to Blackwood)

Shaun Steele (Meadows to Macclesfield)

Ben Powell headlines the signings in the HFL this week, the gun midfielder coming off of a strong 2022 season in which he finished second in Sturt’s reserves best and fairest count.

Key position player Shaun Steele also joins Macclesfield after a standout season with Meadows, accumulating eight best player nods.

Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara Football League

Blake Read, Colby Read (Goodwood to Keith)

Dylan McNeil (Old Ignatians to Keith)

Matt Ferguson (Penola)

Riley Wilsdon (Westminster OS to Keith)

Keith has been active through the past week, signing multiple consistent players from Adelaide Footy League sides.

Former Sydney Swans rookie Dylan McNeil, who represented Old Ignatians last season, is the standout pickup for the Crows and should bring a wealth of experience to the KNTFL side as it pushes for a flag under new coach Lewis Hender.

Port Lincoln Football League

Hayden Carey (Lincoln South)

Riverland Football League

Chris Knapp (Eastern Park to Loxton)

2022 Eastern Park captain Chris Knapp has joined Loxton after a successful career as a forward for the Demons.

Knapp captained Eastern Park for three years and was runner up in the club’s best and fairest a season ago.

River Murray Football League

Andrew Vines (Onkaparinga Valley to Mallee Districts)

He can play as an outside or inside midfielder and averaged a goal a game last season.
