James Wood has been running around in Seagulls colours at senior level since 2002, which means he is heading into his 18th season in black and white at A grade/Cup level in 2017.
The dreadlocked veteran has seen many ups and downs, and Queensland Cup premiership for the club, and has experienced new energy with many new faces sweating it out in the pre-season leading into the trials that began last weekend at Murwillumbah.
We caught up with him recently for a chat.
Apologies for some of the audio – wind came from no where!
