NT Thunder has started 2018 with a fresh face and signed 27-year-old Tim Brook to its NEAFL list.

Brook is new to the Northern Territory this NTFL season and has played 11 games with the Southern Districts, predominantly as a defender.

Originally from Lavington, close to the border of NSW and Victoria, he has played the majority of his footy in country NSW and country Victoria.

Known as a utility, NT Thunder Head Coach Andrew Hodges said Brook can also play up the ground and through the midfield.

“Tim is a strong bodied player who uses the ball very well and could easily slot into different positions around the ground. He has an impressive left foot, and from what I’ve seen he has been a consistent performer for the Crocs.

“He is a great addition to our already talented list, and I look forward to having him at the Club this year,” he said.
