Josh White
Josh White has been retained by the Northern Suns for the 2018 AFL New Zealand Premiership.
Currently playing for the North Shore Tigers in the Auckland AFL, White spends most of his time playing off the wing who can move into the forward line.

Jonathon Ilaua
Jonathon Ilaua is the last retained player for the Northern Suns for the 2018 AFL New Zealand Premiership.

A passionate and loyal club member of the Mt Roskill Saints in the Auckland AFL, watch for Jonathon to make an impact in 2018.
