Now 34 and a father of two, the 201-centimeter superstar accepted Bracknell’s offer to explore Tasmania and hasn’t looked back since.
“I probably couldn’t say more about the club to be honest about the effort they put into helping us get settled and everything in between,†said Dennis.
Whether it’s housing or a place to stay while we try to find a place to live or try to find myself a job and everything, and the other guys have had the same feelings towards the club – they love it. really.
“Everyone is treated very well, whether you’ve been here for five minutes or five years… we are setting up really well and really enjoying it.”
Boasting a football resume that includes four senior prime ministers, three best and fairer in Northern Football League competition, three best and fairer from Palmerston and a final grand prize for best on the pitch, Dennis had an immediate impact on his new team.
With the Redlegs in second place with a 4-1 record, Dennis has been among the best players four times and has scored nine goals as he adapts to a style of football he has described as ” more physical “than Victoria.
“The difference with Darwin is the conditions with the heat and everything and also we play on much bigger grounds and it’s a much smoother style of racing,†he said.
“I found this football, you have to win your own football and it’s a lot more physical, especially on smaller pitches like Bracknell.”

The compliments weren’t all one-sided, Goodluck returning the favor.
“He’s been great off the pitch and obviously on the pitch,†said Goodluck.
“Obviously I’m still learning as a first year coach and it’s good to have people like him around the club who have played a lot of football and have experienced a high level that I can learn as well.
“It’s been great to see someone come off the continent, a massive movement to come down without knowing anyone and fit in like they did – it’s really great.”
