Former Carlton and Adelaide forward Eddie Betts will pull on the boots for Murray Football League club Rumbalara on Saturday.
The Shepparton-based side, who are a proud Aboriginal-led local club, will have their winless season brightened by the presence of the 640-goal great.
Rumbalara confirmed ahead of their clash with Deniliquin that Betts will feature in the Round 4 match of the MFL.
โYes itโs true! Join us at Mercury drive this Saturday for all the excitement and to give Eddie and family a deadly Rumba welcome,โ a club social media post reads.
The 35-year-old has already been a presence at the local level after calling time on his 350-game AFL career in August, having featured for the Palmerston Magpies in the Northern Territory Football League late last year.
