This week’s Rising Star is Jess Rush of Rupertswood.

After a solid preseason with the senior squad, the 17 year-old Jess Rush has continued to improve and impress his coaches and teammates alike.

On Saturday, the 6’1” youngster booted six goals in the club’s win over Fitzroy.

The highlight of Jess's game is his work-rate and use of the football. He has a massive engine that allows him to get to a high number of contests and to assist other players.

Rupertswood is looking for big things from Jess in the finals and in future years.

Well done Jess.
