Matthew Pearce Signs with Northcote Park for 2026

The Northcote Park Football Netball Club is pleased to welcome Matthew Pearce to Bill Lawry Oval for the 2026 season.

Matthew began his senior football journey at just 17 years of age with Lakes Entrance, where he played in the ruck and as a forward. He later represented the Gippsland Power during the 2024 NAB League season.

For the 2025 season, Matthew joined the Traralgon Football Club, continuing his development as a key position player with a strong emphasis on contested marking and mobility around the ground. Those attributes will be on full display in the green and gold in 2026.

We welcome Matthew to the Cougars and look forward to seeing his impact at Bill Lawry Oval.

#OneBigCougar 💚💛
