Eltham Redbacks are delighted to welcome Jack Butts back to The Web for season 2027.
Butts joined ahead of 2025 after two seasons at Eastern Lions, and made his debut in round one of that year’s VPL2 campaign, a 2-0 win away to Box Hill United on 7 February.
One of our biggest contributers to our 2026 promotion, Butts has been ever-present in our Senior Men’s team since arriving at Eltham North Reserve and provides another level of stability to a new-look senior side that is forming under Head Coach, George Katsakis.
He has played 42 games for the club since, 41 of them as a starter, through the 2025 promotion out of VPL2 and into our first season in VPL1. The gap grew in 2026: 1.75 points a game in the matches he played, against the club’s 1.50 across the season.
Butts wore the number 2 in 2026 and starts 2027 with two seasons in our back line behind him.
Welcome back, Jack.
