ROSEBUD player-coach Mark Pagliarulo was over-the-moon when he clinched the signing of Ash Scholes last week.
“Pags” had been chasing the 27-year-old’s signature for some time and was close to signing him a few months ago.
“I tried to get him at the beginning of the season but he wanted to stay loyal to Somerville but recently we spoke and he wasn’t enjoying it there so decided to come down,” Pagliarulo said on Friday.

“I tried to get him at the beginning of the season but he wanted to stay loyal to Somerville but recently we spoke and he wasn’t enjoying it there so decided to come down,” Pagliarulo said on Friday.
“He’s a massive signing for the club, a local lad and a top defender.
“He’s a big boy, strong, good in the air and a good lad to have around the place, a very honest player who gives 100 per cent every week.

MORNINGTON, Frankston Pines and Seaford United head their respective leagues after three rounds of the 2021 season.
And NPL2 outfit Langwarrin is second on goal difference to Goulburn Valley Suns with both sides enjoying a perfect start to their league campaigns.
A Tom Youngs tap-in after 29 minutes was enough to separate Langy and Moreland Zebras at Lawton Park on Saturday.
Rogan McGeorge sent George Howard down the right and Howard’s ball across the face of goal was cut back by Damir Stoilovic on the left for a simple finish by Youngs.

TEAM formation, culture change and depth are the key elements of success according to Seaford United senior coach Peter Schwellinger.
The former Melbourne Knights, Richmond and Langwarrin goalkeeper has coached at Frankston Pines, Old Carey, Melton Phoenix and Whittlesea United and success has walked hand-in-hand with him in recent years.
Schwellinger took Whittlesea United from State 3 to State 1 North-West in successive seasons so he knows what it takes to climb through the leagues.
