Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Cananore Football Club in Tasmania, Roy Reardon was a handy forward who crossed the Bass Strait to test his skills in the VFL. Born in Forcett, he arrived at South Melbourne as a mature-age recruit, making his debut in the middle of the 1920 season. Reardon quickly established himself as a capable goal-kicker, booting 11 majors across his 13 senior appearances and providing a reliable avenue to goal for the Southerners. Despite showing promise at the highest level, his tenure in Victoria was brief, and he returned to the Apple Isle after the 1921 season, where he continued to serve Cananore as one of their most notable interstate exports.
