Coburg FC’s CEO Sebastian Spagnuolo announced the re-signings and said “Having these initial 16 players re-sign for the 2024 season provides great stability for the club and we’re pleased that already, by this early stage of the season these players have decided to be part of the club’s future and want to be part of what hopefully becomes a successful period for the club.

Our members will see the youthfulness and the ages of these players who range from 0 to 35 VFL games worth of experience but it’s clear that these players and others that will be re-committing soon are the bright sparks for our future.”

Spagnuolo added “Over the course of the coming weeks there will be more list management announcements as our Men’s football department continues to improve and development at a great rate”

The club looks forward to making further list management announcements in the coming weeks.
