Hot on the heels of securing the signature of Grogan Medallist Matt Payne Southport have added recently delisted AFL players Cleve Hughes (Richmond) and Darren Pfeiffer (Carlton) to their already impressive list
Hughes the number 24 selection in the 2005 NAB AFL Draft played a total of 16 games at Richmond after being recruited from SANFL club Norwood and at 194cm and 95kg will certainly make his presence felt in combination with 2009 Southport leading goal kicker Luke Jarjoura.
Pfeiffer was originally taken at pick 17 of the 2005 NAB AFL Draft by the Adelaide Crows and ironically came from the same SANFL club Norwood. He was then selected by the Blues in the 2008 NAB Pre Season Draft and played 7 games that year. He had an injury interrupted 2009 playing for the Northern Bullants (VFL) registering his first senior game in Round 17 before going on to be a member of the losing Grand Final side
Norwood was also the club of gun full forward Ben McEntee and last season released Western Magpies key defender Ed McDonnell back to the QAFL
The Sharks are also believed to have been swimming in the waters of the VAFA and have picked up the versatile Cameron MacLaren from Marcellin Old Collegians (A Section) MacLaren played representative football for the VAFA at both Open Age and Under 23 levels
