Hard-nosed midfielder Will Langford is set to play his 50th AFL game for Hawthorn on Monday.

The New South Welshman arrived at the Hawks in 2011, after he was taken with pick 85 in that year’s rookie draft.

The 24-year old was named as one of the Hawks’ best players in the 2014 Hawthorn premiership side that beat Sydney.

The tough onballer was outstanding on the game’s biggest stage, kicking a career-high three goals, gathering 21 disposals and laying six tackles.

Langford also won a VFL premiership in 2013 with the Box Hill Hawks.

The 187cm midfielder has been a shining light in the Hawks’ slow start to the 2017 season, averaging career-highs in disposals (23.33) and contested possessions (12).
