The former AFL and Yarrawonga star will join great mate and coach Craig Ednie.

Fevola's popularity was shown when he played with the Hoppers in April, 2017, kicking seven goals against Waaia, with the match attracting around 1000 people. It would normally have gained around 200-300.

Although the two-time Yarrawonga premiership player hasn't specified how many games he will play, Ednie believes the full-forward will want to play at least six matches.

"Wherever Brendan goes he has an impact, he has a huge personality and it will be fantastic for everyone out here in the community," Ednie said.

Ednie is a premiership coach at Rennie.
