SORRENTO has landed multiple Peninsula Team of the Year centre half forward Scott Lockwood.
Lockwood was said to be on the move to an amateur club closer to the city but after a few chats with new coach Nick Jewell, decided to go to Sorrento.
Mt Eliza team mate and hard running defender Jack Egan will join Lockwood at the Sharks.
Whilst it’s big news for the Sharks, Jewell played it down.
“Look, we are just replacing at the moment. We get Lockwood for Leigh Poholke and Egan for Troy Schwarze. If you like, Nick Corp, who we recruited last week, is also a replacement for Ryan Jeffries who has retired,” Jewell said.
Sorrento is “very close” with one other big name.
The quiet word coming out of Sorrento, but is yet to be confirmed, is that Myles Pitt has a serious back injury and star players Daniel Grant and Jon Croad are both headed for Queensland.
