Stats
Bio
Recruited from nearby Winchelsea, Herb Bennett was a local prospect who earned a brief trial with the Pivotonians during the Edwardian era. He made his senior debut in the opening round of the 1907 season, immediately impacting the scoreboard with what would ultimately remain his solitary career goal. Despite this promising start, Bennett found himself on the fringe of the senior side, often utilised to fill gaps in the forward half or on the flanks rather than holding down a permanent key position. He was retained for the 1908 season but added only a handful of games to his tally, eventually departing the League after just eight appearances to return to district football.
