Werribee has added to its forward stocks with the signing of promising tall Cam McLeod. 

The 194cm McLeod was on Essendon’s VFL list this year getting his first taste of state league footy with the club part way through the season with back-to-back appearances in rounds 6-7.  

The 20-year-old former Murray Bushranger and Albury Tiger continues Werribee’s strong links with the Ovens and Murray region.  

Werribee football manager Mark Micallef said the club was excited by McLeod’s potential. 

“Cam was rated highly ahead of last year’s AFL Draft before signing with Essendon VFL,” he said. 

“He possesses good marking ability, can take a strong grab up forward and hit the scoreboard. 

“There’s development to come in his game and with his body but we think he can play a variety of roles for us.” 

McLeod joins Hudson Garoni and Josh Porter as key forwards from the Ovens and Murray currently on the club’s list.
