FORMER Richmond midfielder Chris Hyde is the latest star recruit to join a resurgent Albury in the Ovens and Murray Football League next season.
Hyde, 26, will become the most credentialled player to join an O and M club for many seasons after playing 93 senior AFL games for Richmond.
The former Barooga player was drafted to the Tigers from the Murray Bushrangers and became a highly sought after player once he was delisted by Richmond at the end of this season.
Paul Spargo is returning to Tigerland as coach next season and spent two years as an assistant coach at Richmond when Hyde started his AFL career.
“He will be a fantastic addition to our side,” Spargo said last night.
“He is very good player and the young players we have at the club will learn so much from a player who has played at the level he has.”
