Philp joins Bundoora

Bundoora has locked in a key signing with former AFL player Sam Philp joining the club.

Philp, who played his junior football with St Marys Greensborough and the Northern Knights, was taken up pick 20 by Carlton in the 2020 draft.

He played just two games in an interrupted time at the Blues and was delisted at the end of this year.

The Bulls took to social media on Tuesday night to announce he had committed to the club.

“The Bundoora Football Netball Club is excited to announce the signing of Sam Philp for the 2024 season,” the Bulls said.

“During his time at Carlton, he played predominantly midfield and forward.

“A local junior, Sam has played with a number of Bundoora listed players since “tackers”. Whilst we acknowledge Sam’s football achievements, he has forged a reputation for his outstanding leadership qualities and character.”

Bulls coach Heath Scotland said they are thrilled that Sam has committed to Bundoora.

“Sam is a highly skilled player coming from the AFL system and compliments our talented playing list,” he said.

How many games he plays for the Bulls is unclear, with Philp also signing with Victorian Football League club Port Melbourne.
