Brendan Littler from the Norwood Football Club has been named the Round 23 Coca-Cola Star Search Award nominee.

The 20 year old old midfielder debuted at League level in Round 12 last year against Sturt at Coopers Stadium.

He recorded 14 kicks, six handballs and six marks against Glenelg last week.

Littler is Norwood’s fourth Coca-Cola Star Search nominee for season 2008. 

To be eligible for the Award, nominees are required to meet the following criteria:

• players must have played no more than 8 State League games at the start of the 2008 season
• players must be aged 21 or under at January 1, 2008
• AFL rookies are eligible for the award unless promoted to the senior list of their AFL club

Players who are suspended by the tribunal during the 2008 season are ineligible to win the award

Following each round of the home and away season, each competing club nominates one eligible player from their team. A review panel then selects one player as the Coca-Cola Star Search Award nominee.

The review panel consists of:

Glen Rosser (General Manager – State League Competition)
David Hutton (General Manager – Game Development)
Daniel Thomas (SANFL Football Services Manager)
Brenton Phillips (SANFL Talent Manager)

On the completion of the minor round, one of the 23 nominees will be chosen, by the review panel as the 2008 Coca-Cola Star Search Award Winner. The award carries a winner’s purse of $2000.

The Coca-Cola Star Search Award Winner will be presented the Award at the Magarey Medal Presentation Dinner.
