Sam Jenkins is another boost to the Sebastopol midfield stocks.

He joins former North Ballarat Roosters and Geelong VFL-experienced Luke Kiel as key signings as the Burra strives to take the next step and end a longstanding Ballarat Football League finals drought.

Jenkins played his early football with Sebastopol – graduating from junior to senior ranks before moving to Dunnstoiwn in his mid-20s in 2014.

He has been huge for the Towners, proiving to be a durable player with more than 80 senior games to his name.

He was a major reason the Towners were able to return to finals this year, mainly playinjg off half back.

Jenkins is a multiple club best and fairest, an interleague representative and CHFL team of the year member.

Dunnstown coach Justin Abrams said Jenkins was a big loss on and off the field.

"He obviously owes us nothing and has been a terrific servant," Abrams said.

"He will be missed, absolutely. He goes with our blessing and I hope he forges a career at Sebastopol and goes really well."

Sebastopol’s Shawne Dummett said the Burra had entered the post season with a focus on attracting three prime recruits – aimed at adding depth and experience.

He said Kiel and Jenkins had gone a long way to achieving this objective.
