Australian Football

One of several country and interstate recruits to bolster Claremont's ranks in 1938, Tommy Serjeant, who counted himself among the former, was quick to establish himself in the senior side, and was forward pocket and change rover in that season's winning Grand Final against East Fremantle. He ended up playing in three premiership sides in succession, although in the 1939 Grand Final he was forced to leave the fray early after sustaining a broken jaw. Despite having a reputation as a reluctant trainer, he almost always gave good value on match days. He ended up playing a total of 83 WANFL games for the Monts in his war-interrupted career that ended in 1946. He later served on the club's senior selection panel.
