Star Signing - Brady Searle

West Adelaide’s midfield is in for a boost following the singing of Glenelg utility Brady Searle.

Playing in 25 League games for the Tigers, including eight last year, he was squeezed out of the line-up for the League Grand Final last year.

But the 22-year-old – who played in the Bays’ Reserves premiership – is keen to make the most of his fresh start with good mate and fellow former Tiger Callum Park.

Measuring in at 187cm and 88kg, Searle will provide a sizeable presence at the stoppages inside the centre square and around the ground.
