The Super Spuds have a long history of supporting rugby league and this year, as they celebrate their centenary, will field two teams in Group 19.
Super Spuds president Britt Youman said the club was fully inclusive and looked forward to welcoming new players and supporters for the upcoming season.
"Guyra Super Spuds is an inclusive club and everyone from the local area is welcome to join us to play footy," Britt said.
"As a relatively small community-based inclusive club, we have limited sources of revenue.
"Battling COVID over the last couple of years has added to these challenges so this cash injection from Greater Bank will help us kick off our season with a spring in our step."
