Five former AFL listed players have agreed to join the club for the upcoming NAB Challenge competition.

Mitch Brown, Jared Petrenko, Clint Jones, James Magner and Mitch Clisby have all verbally committed to join the Bombers 2015 NAB Challenge squad.

List manager Adrian Dodoro welcomed the newest recruits to the club’s list.

“These five players have agreed verbally after discussions with the player, their club’s and their player agents,” Dodoro said.

“They will come into the club on Thursday to do medical testing, they will go through an induction process and we will treat them like a regular AFL player.

“They still have to tick some boxes before they sign the contract but it appears we are heading down that path with these boys.”

Brown is a key position player who played 15 matches with Geelong from 2011 to 2014.

The 24-year-old is a versatile tall effective at either end of the ground and with a strong overhead marking ability.

Petrenko is a versatile small forward who also has the ability to play further up the ground and is hard at the contest.

The 25-year-old booted 50 goals during his 76 games for Adelaide between 2009 and 2014.

Jones is set to add important experience to the line up as a defensive midfielder with 149 games of AFL experience with St Kilda.

The 31-year-old played the majority of his career as a tagger on some of the best midfielders in the competition.

Magner who is currently on Port Melbourne’s VFL list is set to add some hard inside midfield experience to the squad.

The 27-year-old former Melbourne player is a bullish midfielder around the stoppages who has the ability to win his own footy. 

Clisby is currently on North Adelaide’s list in the SANFL after playing eight games with Melbourne at AFL level.

The 25-year-old is an outside midfielder with good running ability who uses the ball well by foot.
