The 21-year-old, who was named the best Launceston-based Greater Northern League player, is a chance to make his Tasmanian senior debut with a game-day side of 14 to be picked.
The Tigers' campaign kicks off in Hobart on October 5, sharing the day with the women who added some internationals to their squad.
Esmee Broekhuizen (Netherlands), Caashia Karringten (Canada) and Katerina Lacina (Czech Republic) are all set to add flair to the squad which features Greater Northern League's Samantha Lawrence and alumnus Sarah McCambridge.
