As surely one of Leongatha's best ever first-year recruits, WA-born Ben Harding enjoyed a remarkable debut season at the Parrots in 2025. Playing predominantly on the wing, he not only claimed the Gippsland League senior best & fairest award (Trood Award & Rodda Medal), but was a key member of the side that comfortably defeated Traralgon in the Grand Final. For Harding—who quickly became one of the most popular players amongst teammates, coaches & supporters alike—this was his first premiership win throughout his football career, which has included stints in the WAFL & the VAFA. An interesting sidenote: Ben is the nephew of West Coast Eagles' 1992 premiership-winning ruckman, Paul Harding.
