Jed Anderson signs with the SUNS
The Gold Coast SUNS have today signed experienced midfielder Jed Anderson through the AFL’s supplementary selection period (SSP).
It's official. Jed Anderson is now a Sun!
Born in Katherine but raised in Darwin, 28 year old Jed Anderson now joins our growing list of NT players at the club after seven seasons with North Melbourne. He comes from solid footballing stocks with his grandfather, Jimmy Anderson, a member of the NT Team of the Century as well as an NTFL life member. Jed's brother, Joe Anderson, spent four years on Carlton's list and managed 17 AFL games. Jed is a proud indigenous man from the Warramunga mob and he has three children to date with two sons and a daughter. For anyone that's curious about father-son possibilities, Jed's oldest son Elijah was born in 2013 which would mean he would become draft eligible in 2031 and his second son Jasiah is two years younger. So should Jed reach 100 games with us then his first son will become father-son eligible for us in the same year that Kai Rischitelli will in 2031. Anyway, seems like Jed still has plenty of good footy ahead of him given his age and I think he'll be a good leader for the young indigenous boys at the club.
Go well, Jed!
