Hailing from a farm in Victoria’s south-west, Jedah Huf is sure to slot in nicely to the Eagles’ side this season.
Huf, who most recently played for Kybybolite in the Limestone Coast Women’s Football League, has typically played in the ruck or through the midfield, but sees herself lining up in defence for the Eagles in 2026.
A natural-born leader with great footy IQ, Huf will make an immediate impact as Woodville-West Torrens searches for its first Hostplus SANFLW League premiership this year.
