Fullback
Matt Perry
The player responsible for the last line of defence against both running attacks and tactical kicks.

Must be rock solid under the high ball and unconcerned about the prospect of being gang tackled the moment he takes the catch.

Can pop up unexpectedly to create an overlap in an attacking back line.

An excellent kicker out of hand and also frequently performs goal-kicking duties.
