POSITION: Defender

A 19-year-old prospect who became a key part of Northern’s side as a relative newcomer to the program in 2021, De Bolfo is as solid as they come. He earned Vic Metro Under 19 honours, being one of the few 2002-born players afield, having showcased his nous across the backline as the Knights' NAB League vice-captain.

He fares well in marking contests and can intercept across the backline, while also proving a sound distributor by foot on the rebound. While not the most flashy or athletic player, he is a reliable figure for coaches and teammates to look towards, presenting notable consistency and leadership quality. He can certainly play a role and commands his troops well.
