One of the competition's most decorated players, the 30-year-old OVA skipper intends to lead his beloved Mushies back to the top in 2020.
On Saturday at Johnson Field, OVA remained undefeated and on course to win their first title since 2016 after thumping Quirindi 10-1.

Browne said Mushies had displayed a "killer instinct" in front of goal in recent weeks.
It was that mentality that propelled the side to 10-straight grand finals and six premierships, before a lean run the past three seasons.
We've been playing really well.
- Lachlan Browne
"We've been playing really well," he said, "and we're starting to get a bit more composure up front as well."
Browne was a mainstay of the club's golden reign, having made his first-grade debut for Oxley Vale Attunga in 2007.
He has missed only one year since then, sitting out 2011, and has played eight grand finals and won five premierships.
OVA coach Tim Coates said Browne "loved" Mushies and had "a very good understanding of the game". The veteran had "an ability to score opportunistic goals and annoy the opposition", he added.
