The popular small defender is coming off another challenging season.

Struggled with a knee issue in 2019 and last year couldn’t rediscover the form he showed a couple of seasons ago and played just six games.

Made one appearance after round eight, playing mostly in scratch matches in the Queensland hub. 

Jetta has had an outstanding career to date, but not without its challenges.

He was delisted by the club in 2013 and given a second chance to reinvent himself as a rookie, transforming from a small forward to a reliable defender.

Jetta is now a Life Member of the club and is one of the most loved characters by both his teammates and fans.
