Eaglehawk has added forward Ben Pryor from Old Brighton to its 2027 roster. Pryor kicked 97 goals across 63 games for the VAFA premier division club over four seasons.
Pryor was part of Old Brighton's 2025 premiership team. Ben Pryor is relocating to Bendigo with his partner, who has secured a job there.
He will train with the Hawks full-time. Co-coach Travis Matheson said having a player living in town is a major advantage.
