Former Rostrevor Old Collegians goalkicking ace Drew Litster signs for division three club Kilburn

DREW Litster called time on his 1241-goal career at Rostrevor Old Collegians after a flag win in September, but his retirement was short-lived.

DREW Litster called time on his 15-year, 1241-goal career at Rostrevor Old Collegians after winning his first division one flag in September.

His retirement was short-lived.

The full-forward, who ranks among the most prolific goalkickers in league history, is making a comeback - with division three club Kilburn.

Litster, 34, says he is keen to play on at a lower level.

"Kilburn gave me a phone call three weeks after the grand final," Litster says.

"I had a think about it and thought I still have a little bit to offer.

"The body still feels all right ... and I know a couple of people there.

"I just hope it's not as serious as division one level."

Litster graduated from Rostrevor College in 1997 and after a stint with Sturt's reserves he became a fixture at the goalfront of his old scholars side.

He went on to twice boot 100 goals in a season, lead division one's goalkicking eight times, including last year, and win a division two premiership in 2003.

Such is his attachment to the club, Litster says he does not want to line up against it.

"I was never going to play Rostrevor and I dare say our full-back (Kieran Holland) would tear me to pieces anyway.

"It will most definitely be strange ... but I've always thought about playing country footy or having one year at a different club to see how it operates."

Litster says he only intends to play for the Knights for one year "at this stage".

"But you never know, it could turn into another season after that.

"It all depends on how the body goes."
