Donaldson joins Laurimar

Laurimar has added another key of the puzzle, with Jesse Donaldson joining the club for next year’s Northern Football League division 3 season.

After just falling short of premiership success, the Power is keen to go that one step further and added a couple of big names.

Donaldson was captain of Montmorency for six years and has played more than 200 division 1 games across two clubs.

He has been named in the league’s most valuable player and runner-up once, which is voted by the coaches.

Donaldson has also captained the league in interleague and was a playing-assistant coach when Eltham won the division 2 premiership in 2023.

“Jesse is another outstanding addition to the team on the field and will play an important role in further developing our young, maturing list who will no doubt feed off the skill, knowledge and experience he has gained over many years at the top level,” the Power said on social media.

Joining Donaldson at the Power is Janus Waldron, another who brings plenty of experience.

He had played more than 220 at Northcote Park across division 1 and 2.

“He joins his twin brother Liam at the Power in 2026 and this will be the first time the twins have played together since 2019,” the Power said.

“Jay’s a dashing wingman who can also swing forward or back and we can’t wait to see him in action at the Power in 2026.”

Meanwhile, Cooper Herbert, who was one of the Stars for Laurimar this season, has joined Hurstbridge.
