North adds Spice (August 20, 2021)

Phoenix Spicer will become Shinboner #1038 when he makes his debut on Sunday.

Selected with pick 42 at the 2020 NAB AFL Draft, Spicer had some impressive highlights during the Roos’ pre-season and early in the club’s VFL campaign.

A hamstring injury kept him sidelined for several weeks, before he made a strong return in several scratch matches in recent weeks.

“I struggled a bit at the start of the year, but I’m glad I got a lot of help and support by the coaches and you boys here and I’m so grateful. Thank you,” Spicer said.
