Jensen and Kieran Shea spent four seasons together at the Farrer League club, from 2016 to 2019, while Tim also played for the 'Roos in 2016.

All three played for top Canberra side Queanbeyan Tigers last season.

Next year, they'll again be making the trip to Temora and bringing a promising big man, Justin Galloway, along too.

"He's originally from down the coast, Eden Whalers, but he's been with Queanbeyan Tigers for about six year, through under 18s and then playing twos," Jensen said.

"He's a 200cm ruckman. He's a big lad, solid."

The ruck has been a tricky position for Temora since Anthony Atkin headed to Coolamon, while the experience of the Shea brothers and Jensen, who can all play through the middle, will be particularly valuable for the club entering a new era under a new non-playing coach Russell Humphrey.

Jensen, 27, headed back to Canberra to have another crack at the North East Australian Football League with Canberra Demons, only to see the NEAFL cancelled in 2020.

He played with Eastlake in Canberra (and lost a grand final to his home club, Queanbeyan), before heading back to the Tigers last year.

But the Temora best-and-fairest winner said the appeal of the Farrer League was hard to resist.

"We really enjoyed the time down there, the club was really good to us," Jensen said.

"The big appeal is the competitive footy (week in, week out) and the community environement. That's the biggest drawcards.

"You're playing more sides and even if the standard's not the same level, it's physical footy and hard footy every week.

"This will be our fifth season down there. There's a new coach and I'm sure there'll be plenty of new faces to integrate with the younger guys coming up through the ranks. We'll see if we can't give it a shake."

Humphrey was in Temora last week for a meet and greet and will move to town in coming months.
