The dual South Adelaide premiership player will offer the Tigers plenty of experience and zip around the packs after landing at Brighton Road. The 22-year-old also boasts valuable pace which should prove an asset for the defending premier in 2022.
Officials at Tigerland are eagerly awaiting the continued progression of Piper Window, who showed tremendous promise playing in the Bays’ inaugural Women’s premiership last year. A member of the SA U18 Girls Academy, the grand daughter of Magarey Medallist Gary Window has pace and reads the play nicely.
