NT Thunder’s four-time NEAFL leading goal kicker, Darren ‘Boof’ Ewing has re-signed for the eighth time in Territory colours. Ewing features in the second day of the #12daysThunderXmas campaign.

Ewing, who kicked his 1000th goal in the Territory (NTFL included) during Round 15 of the 2016 NEAFL season, is expected to line-up at his usual position of full forward.

He is the fifth player to be officially announced for the 2017 NT Thunder squad.

The 29-year-old, who was part of the inaugural Thunder side in 2009, was also a member of the premiership teams of 2011 and 2015.

In 2016 Ewing was the first Thunder player to reach 150 NEAFL club games. He is also the only NEAFL player to be named in the NEAFL Team of the Year every season since its inception.

NT Thunder head coach Andrew Hodges said he is very excited that Ewing has recommitted to NT Thunder for 2017.

“Over a long period of time Darren has proved to be a genuine scoring option for the team. Someone of his experience is invaluable to the group,” Hodges said.

In 2017 Ewing will be sponsored by HPA.
