West Coast has continued to strengthen their WAFL list ahead of the 2027 season, signing promising North Beach pair Owen Jenkins and Sam Parker.
The duo arrive from one of Perth’s strongest community football programs, with North Beach claiming consecutive Perth Football League A Grade flags following a commanding 71-point Grand Final victory over Fremantle CBC in 2026.
Jenkins, a 21-year-old key defender, joins the Eagles with valuable senior football experience already under his belt competing against some of the PFL’s leading forwards.
Joining him is exciting 182cm utility Parker, whose rise through the North Beach system gathered momentum throughout 2026 as he progressed from Colts into the League team.
West Coast Eagles Head of WAFL Steve Trewhella said the additions continued the club’s focus on identifying and developing emerging local talent.
“The addition of Owen and Sam continues the Eagles' focus on identifying talented young Western Australian footballers that will strengthen our list with the scope to develop their talent within the Club's WAFL program,” Trewhella said.
“Owen was a member of North Beach’s back-to-back premiership campaigns and at 195cm he has the size as well as the competitive mindset to take on some of the WAFL’s key forwards.
“Sam has progressed his football impressively and played nine senior games for North Beach, including this year’s Grand Final victory, with his positional versatility and running power among his key strengths.
“We are excited to welcome both players to our club and look forward to continuing their development at West Coast.”
Jenkins and Parker join fellow recent recruits Jed Bews, Zac Walker, Isaac Weller and Mitch Toner.
