Joining the club as a slight 16 year old, Jimmy was almost always the youngest player on the field. But in spite of that, he consistently outmaneuvered his opponents with his silky skills and sheer tenacity as he never stopped chasing the ball.
Reflecting on his time at the club, Jimmy mentioned how it almost would not have happened, "Being a big Dees fan, I was actually very close to joining the High Park Demons," he laughed, "I think my life would have been a fair bit different had I gone down that path instead of joining the Dingos."
"This club has really helped form me into the person I am today, and has forged some amazing experiences in my life from the friendships made to representing Canada, to travelling to places like Dublin, Ohio to play the U.S.A (not recommended) and Dublin, Ireland for Gaz's wedding (highly recommended)"
Speaking of the significance of this award, Jimmy said:
"It's a huge honour. It makes it feel like I have given something back to a club that gave so much to me. I really look forward to coming back and cheering on the boys, and hope that I can lace up the boots and play another game for the red and black"
Join us in congratulating Jimmy on being awarded Dingos Life Membership!
