Mark Bickley Emerging Talent Award
The current Mark Bickley Emerging Talent award is an amalgamation of two awards from the Club’s history.
The first Emerging Talent award was presented in 1995 and the M.A Bickley award was introduced in 2005 to recognise on and off field performance in a first or second-year player. The two awards were presented separately until 2014, when they combined.
The Mark Bickley Emerging Talent Award now recognises the achievements of a player under the age of 21 as the best ‘all round’ emerging talent.
The 2024 winner was first-year defender midfielder Jake Soligo.
