This is a young guy we seemed to have forgotten about after his early injury this year, but he is still under contract for 2020. Had he not had his injury, he may well have had a first grade debut this year and he may have a break out year in 2020. You may all remember his smiling face in lots of the pre-season pics.
He was great in defence for Workers (93.2% tackle efficiency) so although he's relatively small he seems pretty tough, albeit in the few games he played. He has a good kicking game, he's quick, elusive and he can pass equally well left and right. I think Des rates him highly and he is well respected in the club.
I think the club signed Metcalf as a potential replacement for DCE when he retires however, providing he remains injury free in 2020, he could well be partnering DCE in the halves, particularly if Walker is not re-signed and the longer the re-signing process goes on, the less likely it will happen.
