SOUTH Adelaide’s midfield has received a huge boost following Joel Cross’ decision to stay with the Panthers for at least another season.
The three-time Knuckey Cup winner and dual Magarey Medallist is to stretch his stint at Noarlunga into a seventh season.
There was speculation Cross would return to Victoria this year but he has been training with the Panthers this summer and opted to commit to South Adelaide.
“It is fantastic to have Joel going around again this season,” Panthers CEO Neill Sharpe said.
“Joel is a key piece to our side, not only for his individual brilliance on the field, but also for his leadership and standard of professionalism he sets for our playing group.
“Joel’s commitment to the Panthers has never wavered. He has never missed a game in 121 contests, which is a testament to his dedication and professionalism.”
