David Mundy will return to where it all began, donning the Seymour Lions jumper on May 11 against Kyabram in a blockbuster Round 6 Goulburn Valley League clash.

The Lions announced the signing of the 376 game Fremantle superstar in December last year, originally recruited from Seymour in 2003.

Mundy boasts an illustrious CV, All Australian in 2015, Best & Fairest winner in 2010, Fremantle Captain in 2016, 120 Brownlow Medal votes and the ninth most AFL/VFL games in history.

Seymour Lions President Gerard O’Sullivan said the club was set for a huge day to welcome home the club’s finest player.

“There’s been a massive buzz around the club since we announced Dave was returning to The Den and we’re stoked to have a date in the calendar for his homecoming,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

“Dave has been keen to do this for a while now and is looking forward to putting the Lions jumper on once again.

“It will be an amazing day for the club, hopefully a big crowd and plenty of support for Dave and his family.”

The Lions are working through the season fixture to lock in further games with Mundy.

“This certainly isn’t a one-off and we’re probably looking at several games this season that line up with Dave’s other commitments,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

“We’re hoping to be in a position in the coming weeks to announce a couple more appearances at Kings Park throughout the middle of the season.

“Dave has really been driving this with us and it just goes to show what a quality person he is, looking to give back to his junior club and the Seymour community.

“We can’t wait to welcome him and his family to Kings Park and see him put on a show for the Lions faithful.”
