The Hampden Football Netball League Inc premiership ambitions of South Warrnambool Football Netball Club have received a huge boost with former star Marcus Herbert returning to the Roosters.
Herbet has nominated South Warrnambool as he is feeder club for 2026.
Herbert will again line-up for Geelong Cats in the Victorian Football League (VFL), where won the 2025 Best and Fairest.
Last year his feeder club was Heidelberg, where he played in a premiership.
The Hampden league has this year relaxed eligibility rules for VFL players, with no game number restrictions in place.
A player now only has to play three games for their feeder club during the season to be eligible for Hampden league finals.
