With the 2025 SANFL season just around the corner, we look at the top 10 recruits for the upcoming season and the impact they could have on their new club.
From ex-AFL stars to returning club heroes, there is no shortage of quality among the fresh faces set to take the field in 2025.
While lists are not quite locked in, with some uncertainty surrounding former Norwood star Nik Rokhar in his contract dispute with Swan Districts, here are the top 10 off-season recruits for the SANFL so far.Â
7. Luke Partington (Glenelg)
Taking last year off to go travelling, the 2019 Magarey Medallist and dual premiership star is back at the Tigers as they look to make it a hat-trick of flags in 2025.
With his ability to win the ball and inflict damage with his ball use on the outside, Partington's return will be a huge boost to an already elite midfield brimming with talent.
Partington played six AFL games with West Coast in 2017 and has long been considered one of the best midfielders in the SANFL, helping the Tigers to premierships in 2019 and 2021.
In his most recent SANFL campaign in 2023, the 181cm dynamo averaged 22 disposals, three clearances and five tackles per game, showcasing the balance in all facets of his game.
