"Moving to a new town isn't easy, but they welcomed me with all their hearts.

Henare, who learned all his footy there, said he was glad there was an AFL team in Goulburn.

"When I first came, I couldn't believe the amount of people who played the sport in NSW," he said.

"The level isn't what I'm used to, but I learned a wide range of skills."

It was a tight count in the end, but Henare put his success down to his love for the game.

Henare also finished fourth in the best and fairest count for the entire AFL Canberra Community Men's Division Three competition.

He also received 12 best on ground performances all year to help his side to a second placed finish.
