A highly accomplished centreman, Tom New was a driving force behind Brighton's breakthrough premiership win of 1948, which came courtesy of a 13.16 (94) to 13.7 (85) Grand Final defeat of Williamstown. He gave his club great service, but was unable to prevent the gradual post-premiership decline from which it never fully recovered.
