Soldo, 23, a former junior basketballer, was recruited to the Club as a Category B Rookie in 2014. He spent his first two years developing his AFL craft at TAC Cup and VFL level, before making his AFL debut in 2017.

Grabbing his opportunity at AFL level this season, Soldo is averaging 27 hitouts, 10 disposals (at 76 per cent efficiency), three clearances and four tackles.

Athletically gifted Chol, 22, has been an exciting inclusion in season 2019, playing up forward where he is averaging a goal a game, and combining with Soldo to share the ruck duties.
