The Hoppers are well-placed for a big campaign next year with minimal departures and some smart recruiting.

The latest additions at Coolamon will bolster the club's depth with Harry Birch and Paddy Bray joining the Hoppers.

Birch played some senior football at Narrandera but has not played for the last couple of years while in Sydney.

Bray crosses across from Farrer League club Northern Jets.

Coolamon co-coach Jamie Maddox is pleased to have both on board.

"Paddy should be handy and gives us a bit of speed," Maddox said.

"He wanted to test himself a bit and see how he goes in the RFL.

"I haven't seen anything of Harry. He hasn't played for a couple of years but he played at Narrandera originally so hopefully he's pretty handy."

Coolamon had the one get together before Christmas but will kick off pre-season training on January 21.

They have welcomed back Marshal Macauley and Luke Gerhard for next season, with Benj Gillett the only departure.

Mitch Robinson has taken on the reserve grade coaching job, while Matt McGowan and Josh Buchanan will coach under 17s.

Bryan Buchanan has replaced Derek Owens as club president.
