The Bombers latest recruits were welcomed to their new home base on Monday with Zach Merrett and Orazio Fantasia arriving at the True Value Solar Centre.

Merrett and Fantasia were taken in Thursday night’s National Draft with the club’s only two selections.

The pair watched training and took part in the club’s induction program including meeting their new coaches, teammates and club staff.

Captain Jobe Watson welcomed the duo to training for the first time. Click here to send your welcome message to our new recruits Zach Merrett and Orazio Fantasia.
