Jason Torney – GC SUNS Academy Manager, says the 18 year old Broadbeach Cats star has been involved with the SUNS Academy for a long time, and has had an exceptional year playing through the State U18s competition earning All-Australian selection and the 2012 NEAFL Rising Star Award.
"Everyone has been looking forward to his progress [after going through the academy], so it’s really good that there’s a possibility he’ll be able to continue to develop under the club’s Rookie Program," said Torney.
While Boston has played a lot of footy through the midfield he has also played behind the ball in the backline at times, and has kicked a number of goals as a small forward when needed.
"He’s done his time trials, his skills are up to AFL Level, so now it’s about making sure he fits the physical requirements needed for senior selection."
Boston is just one of many local athletes who have developed under the GC SUNS academy, which provides pathways, education and training sessions for players from U12s up to the U18s.
The GC SUNS have invited two potential rookie draftees to train with the club, with Frankston VFL player Leigh Osborne also training with the GC SUNS.
