Williamstown has locked in some new faces for both their Victorian Football League men’s and women’s programs.

Tom Mundy comes back to the Seagulls after some strong form at local level.

Originally from Tasmania, Mundy was listed with Williamstown in 2019 and 2020.

Competing in the Essendon District Football League in 2023 and 2024, the hardworking midfielder earned Deer Park’s 2023 best and fairest in its premiership year, before finishing top 10 this year..

Hugo Hall-Kahan has made the move to Williamstown after playing with Sandringham this year.

The dynamic 21-year-old, previously spent time with the Sandringham Dragons and was picked up by Sydney in the 2022 mid-season draft.

He played 30 VFL games while at the Swans before returning home after the 2023 season.

Carter Michael was the third new signing announced for the Seagulls last week.

The 22 year old defender from Queensland started his journey with the Brisbane Lions after being selected as an academy pre-selection in the 2020 AFL rookie draft.

Making his VFL debut with the Lions in 2021, he’s developed an impressive long-range left foot and a strong ability to read the play.

Carter made his AFL debut in round 17 of the 2022 season where he showed plenty of promise down back while also slotting a goal.

The Seagulls announced the signing of Ruby Mahony would make the move to the club for next season.

The Western Australian product joins the Seagulls after a stellar VFLW debut season with Essendon where she played every game and finished runners-up in the club’s best and fairest. Mahony finished top 10 in the VFLW coaches most valuable player award.

The Seagulls said her explosive speed will bring a new dimension to their midfield.

Another former Bomber, Ellie Huggard is also crossing to the Seagulls.

Huggard proved her elite skill, drive and standards during her time in the Williamstown program in 2023 after crossing over from two seasons with the Western Bulldogs VFLW side.

Fresh off two standout seasons at Aberfeldie, where she claimed the Essendon District Football League women’s premier division best and fairest in 2023, plus a strong 2024 season with Essendon VFLW she returns to the Seagulls.

Jemima Wrigley also joins the Seagulls, crossing from the Southern Saints.
