FORMER Brisbane Lion key forward and North Melbourne VFL player Michael Close has made the move back to his home club, Harrow-Balmoral for the 2019 Horsham and District Football Netball League (HDFNL) season.
After being drafted to the Lions in 2012, Close went on to have a five-year tenure with Brisbane before last year making the move back to Victoria where he was a part of North Melbourne’s VFL squad.
Close spent his 2018 season as part of North Melbourne’s leadership group, but after being forced from a game against Geelong in round 10 due to concussion, Close missed the remainder of the season.
