The duo were key recruits for the 2014 VFL season for the Selkirk Roosters.

Boseley is a former Hawthorn rookie and Staley was a St Kilda rookie.

They are among 18 players from the Roosters’ list this year already secured for 2015.

Boseley and Staley were each influential in North Ballarat playing in the finals.

Boseley played 18 games, primarily in defence, while Staley lined up 16 times as a forward.

Roosters football manager Marg Richards said best and fairest runner-up Tony Lockyer and third placegetter Nick Rippon had also been re-signed on one-year contracts along with the likes of leading goalkicker Bryce Curnow, Luke Kiel and James Keeble and James Tsitas.

“This is where our future, with youngsters, is,”

Richards said the club was pleased with the way player negotiations were progressing on top of the signing of marquee recruit Orren Stephenson.

The three-time premiership ruckman is back with the Roosters after three years in the AFL with Geelong (2012) and Richmond (2013-14).

North Ballarat is also hopeful that another premiership player and former AFL player Steve Clifton will return after missing this year.

Clifton is overseas and plans to return to Ballarat later in the year.

The ex-Greater Western Sydney Giant played one game for his former Ballarat Football League club Lake Wendouree on a short stay back home last season.

Captain and premiership player Michael Searl, who has announced his retirement as a VFL player, is the only key loss at the moment.

North Ballarat begins pre-season training on Monday, November 10.

Richards said the Roosters planned to have 45 on its training list ahead of finalising a playing list of 36 in the lead to next season.
