Jesse Aish from the Norwood Football Club has been named the Round Seven Coca-Cola Star Search Award nominee.

In his first League game of the season and just his second League appearance, 20 year old Aish was
named in the Redlegs’ best in their 11 point victory over West Adelaide at Broadspectrum Oval on
Saturday.

Playing on the half forward line, Aish had a real impact on the game accumulating 15 possessions, including 12 kicks, 3 handballs and 3 goals, 2 of which were scored in the crucial stages of the last quarter.

A product of the Norwood Football Club’s junior system, Aish has waited patiently to play his second
League match after suffering a hamstring injury during the pre-season. Norwood’s Football Operations Manager, Jamie Mason says "Aish is an exciting player with the ability to kick goals, take a mark under pressure and play as a running midfielder".

Jesse is the son of former Norwood champion and SA Football Hall of Fame Member, Michael Aish.
Introduced for the first time this season, the Coca-Cola Star Search Award recognises the
talented youngsters making their mark in League ranks.
