Milestones for Kyle and Nik 

The season may not have finished quite like the players and Essendon fans had hoped, but for Kyle Langford ’14 & Nik Cox ’19 the year was memorable in other ways. Kyle celebrated his 150th match in the team’s one point win over Fremantle in Round 21, while Nik played his 50th game for the Bombers in Round 19 against Adelaide. Nik also recently signed a two year extension which will keep him at the Club until the end of 2026.
