The Circular Head Giants is an Australian rules football team which plays in the North West Football League. They are the football team that represents the Smithton Football Club in the NWFL.[1] Under it's old moniker Smithton they competed in the North West Football Union in two different stints, from 1949 to 1951 and then 1980 to 1986. The club is based in the town of Smithton.
Rebranding
The Smithton board had many years of discussions to change the identity, in an attempt to return the club to being a power in the North-West. NWFL president Andrew Richardson said "You hear that Smithton doesn't represent Circular Head - well this gives everybody the opportunity to jump on board the club."[2]
