Former teammates, workmates and housemates Sam Ridgard and Rob Gerrard will be teaming up again for Rochedale Rovers in the Football Queensland Premier League.

The pair had a big impact in their sole season at Prospect Park before moving on.

Attacking midfielder Ridgard was made captain by new coach Roger Hardwicke and finished the season as the club's leading scorer.

"I am delighted to have signed for Rochedale Rovers," he said. "The professionalism and ambition the club has is exactly what I want to be a part of and I cannot wait to get started and give everything for the club."

A year after helping Northern Rangers to the Northern Championship title, Gerrard returned to Launceston in 2020 to step up to the NPL.

The midfield/forward's season highlight came early with two stunning goals in a shock Lakoseljac Cup defeat of eventual champions Devonport.

In a post on their Facebook page, Rochedale said: "Originally from the UK, the boys are in their second year on Aussie soil and have relocated to Queensland to continue on their football journeys.

"Sam is creative on the ball, looks to take risks in the front third and uses his pace to make things happen off the ball. He's looking forward to getting started after being impressed by new head coach Garrett McDuling and the state of the art Underwood Park redevelopment.

"Rob has pedigree, having been in playing squads in the English National League with Aldershot Town which included a league game away at Luton Town."

Founded in 1972, Rovers play at the 5000-capacity Underwood Park, south of Brisbane.
