The Lions have secured their marquee player just in time for their Cup opener against Ballan on Sunday night.

Green has played about 60 games in Victorian Premier Cricket firsts.

Louth hails from Lincolnshire Premier League club Bourne.

Other marquee players on show include Nepal national player and Greenvale Kangaroo Sunam Gautam, who returns to Golden Point, and Welshman Gareth Davies, who is a clubmate of Ingram at Plenty Valley, for North Ballarat.
