The signatures of these players will be a welcomed sight for Dunnstown supporters and coach Glenn Wilkins given their importance to the side's fortunes throughout the 2021 season.

Will Henderson was one of the most improved players in the competition, playing a variety of roles across the ground, but was especially impressive down back.

Bulluss turned himself into a potent offensive threat after spending the last couple of seasons in the midfield, kicking 19 goals in the final three games of the season.

Mitch Henderson and Thompson played strong roles down forward and back, while Renga performed strongly in the midfield.

The three were of some the many role players that helped Dunnstown climb from ninth into the top four.

The Towners will be aiming for a deep finals run next year after COVID-19 prevented them from challenging for their first premiership since 1999 this season.
